We end up going through the same path for all memory ranges, which also encapsulates the NUMA case. As such, we don't necessarily know which range will contain the resource in question, so it's attempted on each range addition, expecting the resource manager to work things out for us. With the request_resource() in place you presumably see the crash kernel resource where you expect it to in /proc/iomem?
