Let's add a flag that corresponds to IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED.
Similar to MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG, most infrastructure has to treat such memory
like ordinary MEMBLOCK_NONE memory -- for example, when selecting memory
regions to add to the vmcore for dumping in the crashkernel via
for_each_mem_range().
However, especially kexec_file is not supposed to select such memblocks via
for_each_free_mem_range() / for_each_free_mem_range_reverse() to place
kexec images, similar to how we handle IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED
without CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK.
Let's document why kexec_walk_memblock() won't try placing images on
areas marked MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED -- similar to
IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED handling in locate_mem_hole_callback()
via kexec_walk_resources().
We'll make sure that memory hotplug code sets the flag where applicable
(IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED) next. This prepares architectures
that need CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, such as arm64, for virtio-mem
support.
