Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] dax/hmem: Reintroduce Soft Reserved ranges back into the iomem tree

Reworked from a patch by Alison Schofield <alison.schofield@...el.com>

Reintroduce Soft Reserved range into the iomem_resource tree for dax_hmem
to consume.

This restores visibility in /proc/iomem for ranges actively in use, while
avoiding the early-boot conflicts that occurred when Soft Reserved was
published into iomem before CXL window and region discovery.
