[PATCH 2/3] resource: Add new flag IORESOURCE_MEM_WARN

[Boaz Harrosh <boaz@plexistor.com>]

memory resource providers set this flag if they want
that request_region will print a warning in dmesg
if this particular memory resource is locked by a driver.

Thous acting as a Protocol Police about experimental
devices that did not pass a committee approval.

The Only user of  this flag is x86/kernel/e820.c that
wants to WARN about UNKNOWN memory types.

NOTE: It would be preferred if I defined a general flag say
      IORESOURCE_WARN, where any kind of resource provider
      can WARN on use, but we have run out of flags in the
      32bit long systems. So I defined a free bit from the
      resource specific flags for mem resources. This is
      why I need to check if this is a memory resource first
      so not to conflict with other resource specific flags.
      (Though actually no one is using this specific bit)
