The core of devm_request_free_mem_region() is a helper that searches for
free space in iomem_resource and performs __request_region_locked() on
the result of that search. The policy choices of the implementation
conform to what CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE users want which is memory that is
immediately marked busy, and a preference to search for the first-fit
free range in descending order from the top of the physical address
space.
CXL has a need for a similar allocator, but with the following tweaks:
1/ Search for free space in ascending order
2/ Search for free space relative to a given CXL window
3/ 'insert' rather than 'request' the new resource given downstream
drivers from the CXL Region driver (like the pmem or dax drivers) are
responsible for request_mem_region() when they activate the memory
range.
Rework __request_free_mem_region() into get_free_mem_region() which
takes a set of GFR_* (Get Free Region) flags to control the allocation
policy (ascending vs descending), and "busy" policy (insert_resource()
vs request_region()).
As part of the consolidation of the legacy GFR_REQUEST_REGION case with
the new default of just inserting a new resource into the free space
some minor cleanups like not checking for NULL before calling
devres_free() (which does its own check) is included.
