This should be a pointer of struct resource and declared as static, such
as:

static struct resource *bootmem_resource_free;

O.K. I'll update it.

I second with Johannes.

I'll update it.

I prefer to keep memset() outside of the spin lock.

spin_lock(&bootmem_resource_lock);
if (..) {
	:
	spin_unlock(&bootmem_resource_lock);
	memset(res, 0, sizeof(struct resource));
} else {
	spin_unlock(&bootmem_resource_lock);
	res = kzalloc(sizeof(struct resource), flags);
}

Hmm. It is a little ugly. How about it?

spin_lock(&bootmem_resource_lock);
if (bootmem_resource.sibling) {
	res = bootmem_resource.sibling;
	bootmem_resource.sibling = res->sibling;
}
spin_unlock(&bootmem_resource_lock);

if (res)
	memset(res, 0, sizeof(struct resource));
else	
	res = kzalloc(sizeof(struct resource), flags);
