please use split_e820_reserve_xx2.patch instead...

Subject: [PATCH] x86: split e820 reserved entries record to late v4 - fix v6

try to insert_resource second time, by expand the resource...

for case: e820 reserved entry is partially overlapped with bar res...

hope it will never happen

v2: according to Linus, add insert_resource_expand_to_fit, and change
__insert_resource to static without lock

v3: use reserve_region_with_split() instead to hand overlapping
with test case by extend 0xe0000000 - 0xeffffff to 0xdd800000 -
get
e0000000-efffffff : PCI MMCONFIG 0
e0000000-efffffff : reserved
in /proc/iomem
get
found conflict for reserved [dd800000, efffffff], try to reserve with split
__reserve_region_with_split: (PCI Bus #80) [dd000000, ddffffff], res: (reserved) [dd800000, efffffff]
__reserve_region_with_split: (PCI Bus #00) [de000000, dfffffff], res: (reserved) [de000000, efffffff]
initcall pci_subsys_init+0x0/0x121 returned 0 after 381 msecs
in dmesg

v4: take out __insert_resource and insert_resource_expand_to_fit : Linus already check in.
use reserve_region_with_split at the first point
use const char *name

v5: fix checking on overlapping

v6: only reserve common area in conflict
so got sth in /proc/iomem
d8000000-dfffffff : PCI Bus #00
dc000000-dfffffff : GART
dc000000-dfffffff : reserved
e0000000-efffffff : PCI MMCONFIG 0
e0000000-efffffff : reserved
when we have big range in e820
00000000dc000000-00000000f0000000 (reserved)
