Is this not an argument for a more flexible resource allocation
API? One offering both:
res = allocate_resource(restype, dev, RES_ALLOC_UNUSED, region);
and
res = allocate_resource(restype, dev_ RES_ALLOC_HW, region);
?
Maybe the kernel might ask:
allocate_resource(restype, dev, RES_ALLOC_UNMOVABLE_HW, region);
