Right, about those other types: your patchset improves the situation
but doesn't really get rid of the strcmp() and the strings. And using
strings to find resource types still looks yucky to me, even a week
later. :)
So how hard is it to do:
region_intersects(base_addr, size, IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM);
region_intersects(base_addr, size, IORESOURCE_MEM, RES_TYPE_PERSISTENT);
walk_iomem_res(RES_TYPE_GART, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0, -1, ced, get_gart_ranges_callback);
...
and so on instead of using those silly strings?
