[PATCH 1/2] kernel/resource: Add new flag IORESOURCE_SHARED

[Ricardo Ribalda Delgado]

Some device tree platforms have not defined correctly their memory
resources (i.e. Overlapping or duplication of resources).
To avoid this issue we have historically avoided to add their resources to
the resource tree. This leads to code duplication and oops when trying to
unload dynamically a device tree (feature introduced recently).

This new flag tells the resource system that a resource can be shared by
multiple owners, so we can support device trees with problems at the
same time that we do not duplicate code or crash when unloading the
device tree.
