[v2,2/3] resource: Add region_intersects_pmem()

Commit Message

Kani, Toshi Oct. 23, 2015, 6:53 p.m. UTC

Add region_intersects_pmem(), which checks if a specified address
range is persistent memory registered as "Persistent Memory" in
the iomem_resource list.

Note, it does not support legacy persistent memory registered as
"Persistent Memory (legacy)".  It can be supported by extending
this function or a separate function, if necessary.

This interface is exported so that it can be called from modules,
such as the EINJ driver.
