Subject[PATCH 0/3] find_next_iomem_res() fixes
From
Date
These fix:

- A kexec off-by-one error that we probably never see in practice (only
affects a resource starting at exactly 640KB).

- A corner case in walk_iomem_res_desc(), walk_system_ram_res(), etc that
we probably also never see in practice (only affects a single byte
resource at the very end of the region we're searching)

- An issue in walk_iomem_res_desc() that apparently causes a kdump issue
(see Lianbo's note at [1]).

I think we need to fix the kdump issue either by these patches
(specifically the last one) or by the patch Lianbo posted [2].

I'm hoping to avoid deciding and merging these myself, but I'm not
sure who really wants to own kernel/resource.c.
