Ingo updated X86 code to use "Reserved", I think it would be good to do
same for this case as well

Originally, above 3 are all "reserved", so probably they all should be
IORES_DESC_RESERVED.
Can any IA64 people to review this?

Added Tom since he added the check function. Is it possible to only
check explict valid desc types instead of exclude IORES_DESC_NONE?
