Here is a prototype simple patch, please review to see if it is the
right way to go.
1) add a new field "count" to struct acpi_res_list.
When inserting, if the region(addr, len) is already in the resource
list, we just increase "count", otherwise, the region is inserted
with count=1.
When deleting, the "count" is decreased, if it's decreased to 0,
the region is deleted from the resource list.
With "count", the region with same address and length can only be
inserted to the resource list once, so prevent potential memory leak.
2) add a new function acpi_os_invalidate_address, which is called when
region is deleted.
