[PATCH v3] new helper to define common struct resource constructs

[Uwe Kleine-KÃnig]

resource definitions that just define start, end and flags =
IORESOURCE_MEM or IORESOURCE_IRQ (with start=end) are quite common. So
introduce a shortcut for them. For completeness add macros for
IORESOURCE_DMA and IORESOURCE_IO, too and also make available a set of
macros to specify named resources of all types which are less common.

changes since v2:
- add parentheses around macro parameter usages

changes since v1:                                                               
- also add _IO and _DMA variants
