When executing the kexec_file_load() syscall, the first kernel needs to pass the e820 reserved ranges to the second kernel because some devices (PCI, for example) need them present in the kdump kernel for proper initialization. But the kernel can not exactly match the e820 reserved ranges when walking through the iomem resources using the default IORES_DESC_NONE descriptor, because there are several types of e820 ranges which are marked IORES_DESC_NONE, see e820_type_to_iores_desc(). Therefore, add a new I/O resource descriptor called IORES_DESC_RESERVED to mark exactly those ranges. It will be used to match the reserved resource ranges when walking through iomem resources.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
