Okay.

I agree except this mimics the page_is_ram function:
while ((res.start < res.end) &&
(find_next_iomem_res(&res, "System RAM", true) >= 0)) {
So it passes the same literal string which then find_next does the
same strcmp on it:
if (p->flags != res->flags)
continue;
if (name && strcmp(p->name, name))
continue;
I should add back in the check to insure name is not NULL.
