Change to call walk_iomem_res_desc() for searching resource entries
with the following names:
  "ACPI Tables"
  "ACPI Non-volatile Storage"
  "Persistent Memory (legacy)"
  "Crash kernel"

Note, the caller of walk_iomem_res() with "GART" is left unchanged
because this entry may be initialized by out-of-tree drivers, which
do not have 'desc' set to IORES_DESC_GART.

There's this out-of-tree bogus argument again. :\

Why do we care about out-of-tree drivers?

You can just as well fix the "GART" case too and kill walk_iomem_res()
altogether...

Right, but I do not see any "GART" case in the upstream code, so I cannot change it...

Thanks,
