Thank you, Dave.

That would be fine to let more people review this patch.

I have noticed the changes on x86, but for IA64, i'm not sure whether it should do the same
thing, so keep it as before.

If IA64 people would like to give any comment, that will be appreciated.

This is a good question.

If above 3 types are converted to the new descriptor 'IORES_DESC_RESERVED', how to handle
the all 'default' case? Because the all 'default' case is also converted to the descriptor
'IORES_DESC_NONE' and the name 'reserved'.

So sorry that i forgot to add Tom.

I'm looking forward to Tom's reply. If i made a mistake, please help me
to point out. Thanks a lot.
