I see we have similar logic on each architecture, and they probably
all have the same
issue now, so maybe we can just do a helper function in include/linux/ioport.h
(which has all the struct resource logic) that can be called like

resource_set_pa(&kernel_code, _stext, __init_begin);
resource_set_pa(&kernel_data, _sdata, _end);
