You'll eventually have something to test, this part was just
infrastructure and didn't change anything at all.

Yeah, nothing has changed yet for your case. What should change your case
is the thing Yinghai is working on with the "late add of e820 data to the
resource tree".

His earlier version already worked for you, didn't it? We're really now
just finalizing details (in fact, "insert_resource_expand_to_fit()" is
just a helper function for a detail that may not even matter all that
much).
