Dave Hansen b926b7f3ba mm/resource: Move HMM pr_debug() deeper into resource code
HMM consumes physical address space for its own use, even
though nothing is mapped or accessible there.  It uses a
special resource description (IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY)
to uniquely identify these areas.

When HMM consumes address space, it makes a best guess about
what to consume.  However, it is possible that a future memory
or device hotplug can collide with the reserved area.  In the
case of these conflicts, there is an error message in
register_memory_resource().

Later patches in this series move register_memory_resource()
from using request_resource_conflict() to __request_region().
Unfortunately, __request_region() does not return the conflict
like the previous function did, which makes it impossible to
check for IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY in a conflicting
resource.

Instead of warning in register_memory_resource(), move the
check into the core resource code itself (__request_region())
where the conflicting resource _is_ available.  This has the
added bonus of producing a warning in case of HMM conflicts
with devices *or* RAM address space, as opposed to the RAM-
only warnings that were there previously.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
