[PATCH] Add IORESOUCE_BUSY flag for System RAM (Re: [Question] How to represent SYSTEM_RAM in kerenel/resouce.c)

[Yasunori Goto]

Hello.

I was asked from Kame-san to write this patch.

Please apply.

---------
i386 and x86-64 registers System RAM as IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_BUSY.

But ia64 registers it as IORESOURCE_MEM only.
In addition, memory hotplug code registers new memory as IORESOURCE_MEM too.

This patch adds IORESOURCE_BUSY for them to avoid potential overlap mapping
by PCI device.
