Some add_memory*() users add memory in small, contiguous memory blocks. Examples include virtio-mem, hyper-v balloon, and the XEN balloon. This can quickly result in a lot of memory resources, whereby the actual resource boundaries are not of interest (e.g., it might be relevant for DIMMs, exposed via /proc/iomem to user space). We really want to merge added resources in this scenario where possible. Let's provide a flag (MEMHP_MERGE_RESOURCE) to specify that a resource either created within add_memory*() or passed via add_memory_resource() shall be marked mergeable and merged with applicable siblings. To implement that, we need a kernel/resource interface to mark selected System RAM resources mergeable (IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_MERGEABLE) and trigger merging. Note: We really want to merge after the whole operation succeeded, not directly when adding a resource to the resource tree (it would break add_memory_resource() and require splitting resources again when the operation failed - e.g., due to -ENOMEM).
