The reason why the messages are shown is to release a resource
structure, allocated by bootmem, by kfree(). So when we release a
resource structure, we should check whether it is allocated by bootmem
or not.
But even if we know a resource structure is allocated by bootmem, we
cannot release it since SLxB cannot treat it. So for reusing a resource
structure, this patch remembers it by using bootmem_resource as follows:
When releasing a resource structure by free_resource(), free_resource()
checks whether the resource structure is allocated by bootmem or not.
If it is allocated by bootmem, free_resource() adds it to
bootmem_resource. If it is not allocated by bootmem, free_resource()
release it by kfree().
And when getting a new resource structure by get_resource(),
get_resource() checks whether bootmem_resource has released resource
structures or not. If there is a released resource structure,
get_resource() returns it. If there is not a releaed resource
structure, get_resource() returns new resource structure allocated by
kzalloc().
