resource: provide new functions to walk through resources
I have added two more functions to walk through resources. Currently walk_system_ram_range() deals with pfn and /proc/iomem can contain partial pages. By dealing in pfn, callback function loses the info that last page of a memory range is a partial page and not the full page. So I implemented walk_system_ram_res() which returns u64 values to callback functions and now it properly return start and end address. walk_system_ram_range() uses find_next_system_ram() to find the next ram resource. This in turn only travels through siblings of top level child and does not travers through all the nodes of the resoruce tree. I also need another function where I can walk through all the resources, for example figure out where "GART" aperture is. Figure out where ACPI memory is. So I wrote another function walk_iomem_res() which walks through all /proc/iomem resources and returns matches as asked by caller. Caller can specify "name" of resource, start and end and flags. Got rid of find_next_system_ram_res() and instead implemented more generic find_next_iomem_res() which can be used to traverse top level children only based on an argument.
