[PATCH 4/5] resource: Report parent to walk_iomem_res_desc() callback
(too old to reply)

In support of detecting whether a resource might have been been claimed,
report the parent to the walk_iomem_res_desc() callback. For example,
the ACPI HMAT parser publishes "hmem" platform devices per target range.
However, if the HMAT is disabled / missing a fallback driver can attach
devices to the raw memory ranges as a fallback if it sees unclaimed /
orphan "Soft Reserved" resources in the resource tree.
Otherwise, find_next_iomem_res() returns a resource with garbage data
from the stack allocation in __walk_iomem_res_desc() for the res->parent
field.
Just wondering if we shouldn't just copy the complete resource struct and
just override the start and end values? That way, if some code in the
future wants to look at sibling or child values, another change isn't needed.
Just a thought.
Thanks for taking a look. I think it's ok to come update this again if
that need arises.

Disable parsing of the HMAT for debug, to workaround broken platform
instances, or cases where it is otherwise not wanted.
Rafael, any heartburn with this change to the numa= option?

...as I look at this I realize I failed to also update
Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.rst, will fix.
