Subject: scripts/gdb: add io resource readers
Provide iomem_resource and ioports_resource printers and command hooks
It can be quite interesting to halt the kernel as it's booting and check
to see this list as it is being populated.
It should be useful in the event that a kernel is not booting, you
can identify what memory resources have been registered
