Hi

In linux kernel exist struct resource and i think is need some improvement in
order to parse easy from ACPI table:

Original structure bellow:

struct resource {
        resource_size_t start;
        resource_size_t end;
        const char *name;
        unsigned long flags;
        unsigned long desc;
        struct resource *parent, *sibling, *child;
};

New structure proposed:
struct resource {
        resource_size_t start;
        resource_size_t end;
        const char *start_cacpi; /*Used to parse from ACPI Table */
        const char *end_cacpi; /*Used to parse from ACPI Table */
        const char *name;
        unsigned long flags;
        unsigned long desc;
        struct resource *parent, *sibling, *child;
};

New item can bee used whith string compare functions, and have glue whith bus
start , end 1byte lenght from MCFG ,ACPI table.
