Subject: [PATCH 0/3] find_next_iomem_res() fixes

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.
