[PATCH v1 0/3] virtio-mem: disallow mapping virtio-mem memory via /dev/mem

Let's add the basic infrastructure to exclude some physical memory
regions completely from /dev/mem access, on any architecture and under
any system configuration (independent of CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM and
independent of "iomem=").

Use it for virtio-mem, to disallow mapping any virtio-mem memory via
/dev/mem to user space after the virtio-mem driver was loaded: there is
no sane use case to access the device-managed memory region via /dev/mem
once the driver is actively (un)plugging memory within that region and
we want to make sure that nobody will accidentially access unplugged
memory in a sane environment.

Details can be found in patch #1.

[PATCH v1 1/3] /dev/mem: disallow access to explicitly excluded system RAM regions

virtio-mem dynamically exposes memory inside a device memory region as
system RAM to Linux, coordinating with the hypervisor which parts are
actually "plugged" and consequently usable/accessible. On the one
hand, the
virtio-mem driver adds/removes whole memory blocks, creating/removing busy
IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resources, on the other hand, it logically (un)plugs
memory inside added memory blocks, dynamically either exposing them to
the buddy or hiding them from the buddy and marking them PG_offline.

virtio-mem wants to make sure that in a sane environment, nobody
"accidentially" accesses unplugged memory inside the device managed
region. After /proc/kcore has been sanitized and /dev/kmem has been
removed, /dev/mem is the remaining interface that still allows uncontrolled
access to the device-managed region of virtio-mem devices from user
space.

There is no known sane use case for mapping virtio-mem device memory
via /dev/mem while virtio-mem driver concurrently (un)plugs memory inside
that region. So once the driver was loaded and detected the device
along the device-managed region, we just want to disallow any access via
/dev/mem to it.

Let's add the basic infrastructure to exclude some physical memory
regions completely from /dev/mem access, on any architecture and under
any system configuration (independent of CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM and
independent of "iomem=").

Any range marked with "IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE"
will be excluded, even if not busy. For now, there are no applicable
ranges and we'll modify virtio-mem next to properly set
IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE on the parent resource.

As next_resource() will iterate over children although we might want to
skip a certain range completely, let's add and use
next_range_skip_children() to optimize that case, avoding having to
traverse subtrees that are not of interest.

[PATCH v1 2/3] virtio-mem: disallow mapping virtio-mem memory via /dev/mem

By creating our parent IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resource with
IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, we will disallow any /dev/mem access to our
device-managed region.

Note that access to the region would still be possible if someone simply
doesn't load the virtio-mem driver; however, there is no way of
protecting against someone that just wants to do nasty things.

[PATCH v1 3/3] kernel/resource: cleanup and optimize iomem_is_exclusive()

Let's clean it up a bit, removing the unnecessary usage of r_next() by
next_resource(), and use next_range_resource() in case we are not
interested in a certain subtree.
