Subject: [PATCH 1/2 v6] x86/kexec_file: add e820 entry in case e820 type string matches to io resource name

When load the kernel image and initramfs by kexec_file_load syscall, it can
not add exact e820 reserved type to kdump kernel e820 table.

Kdump uses walk_iomem_res_desc() to iterate io resources, then adds matched
desc to e820 table for kdump kernel. But, when convert the e820 type into
the iores descriptors, several e820 types are converted to 'IORES_DES_NONE'
in this function e820_type_to_iores_desc(). So the walk_iomem_res_desc()
will get these unnecessary types(E820_TYPE_RAM/E820_TYPE_UNUSABLE/E820_TYPE
_KERN) when iterate io resources by the 'IORES_DES_NONE'.

It needs filter out these redundant type(such as E820_TYPE_RAM/E820_TYPE_
UNUSABLE/E820_TYPE_KERN) in order to add exact e820 reserved type to kdump
kernel e820 table. Thus it also needs an extra checking in memmap_entry_
callback() to match the e820 type and resource name.
