Thinking about it, if we don't set the parent resource BUSY (which is
what I think is the right way of doing things), and don't want to store
the parent resource pointer, we could add something like
lookup_resource() - e.g., lookup_mem_resource() - , however, searching
properly in the whole hierarchy (instead of only the first level), and
traversing down to the last hierarchy. Then it would be as simple as
remove_memory(range.start, range_len)
res = lookup_mem_resource(range.start);
release_resource(res);
