Mainline Linux tree for various devices, only for fun :)

virtio-mem adds memory in memory block granularity, to be able to remove
it in the same granularity again later, and to grow slowly on demand.
This, however, results in quite a lot of resources when adding a lot of
memory. Resources are effectively stored in a list-based tree. Having a
lot of resources not only wastes memory, it also makes traversing that
tree more expensive, and makes /proc/iomem explode in size (e.g.,
requiring kexec-tools to manually merge resources later when e.g., trying
to create a kdump header).
Before this patch, we get (/proc/iomem) when hotplugging 2G via virtio-mem
on x86-64:
[...]
100000000-13fffffff : System RAM
140000000-33fffffff : virtio0
140000000-147ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
148000000-14fffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
150000000-157ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
158000000-15fffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
160000000-167ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
168000000-16fffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
170000000-177ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
178000000-17fffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
180000000-187ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
188000000-18fffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
190000000-197ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
198000000-19fffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
1a0000000-1a7ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
1a8000000-1afffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
1b0000000-1b7ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
1b8000000-1bfffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
With this patch, we get (/proc/iomem):
[...]
fffc0000-ffffffff : Reserved
100000000-13fffffff : System RAM
140000000-33fffffff : virtio0
140000000-1bfffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
Of course, with more hotplugged memory, it gets worse. When unplugging
memory blocks again, try_remove_memory() (via offline_and_remove_memory())
will properly split the resource up again.

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.
