resource: Set type of "reserve=" user-specified resources

When we reserve regions because the user specified a "reserve=" parameter,
set the resource type to either IORESOURCE_IO (for regions below 0x10000)
or IORESOURCE_MEM.  The test for 0x10000 is just a heuristic; obviously
there can be memory below 0x10000 as well.

Improve documentation of the "reserve=" parameter.

Format: <base1>,<size1>[,<base2>,<size2>,...]
Reserve I/O ports or memory so the kernel won't use
them. If <base> is less than 0x10000, the region
is assumed to be I/O ports; otherwise it is memory.
