Maybe, but I'm not convinced yet.  The existing IORESOURCE_TYPE_BITS
types are for things that are mutually exclusive address spaces.  I
think this discussion is about ECAM, where the CPU side is definitely
in the same address space (IORESOURCE_MEM) as RAM, APICs, host bridge
apertures, device MMIO, etc.  The ECAM area must appear in the
iomem_resource tree so we avoid it when allocating other areas.
