Allow for resizing of LMB regions if the region attributes match. The
current code returns a failure status on detecting an overlapping
address. This worked up until now since the LMB calls were not
persistent and global -- the LMB memory map was specific and private
to a given caller of the LMB API's.

With the change in the LMB code to make the LMB reservations
persistent, there needs to be a check on whether the memory region can
be resized, and then do it if so. To distinguish between memory that
cannot be resized, add a new flag, LMB_NOOVERWRITE. Reserving a region
of memory with this attribute would indicate that the region cannot be
resized.

Can you think of a memory region that needs to be protected from resizing?

Actually, I think I could use a better term instead of 'resize'. The
aim of this patch is to allow re-allocation/re-reservation of the same
region of memory -- this will only be relevant for the LMB
reservations, as these are used for loading images into memory. All
other allocations(EFI currently) are true allocations in that these
should not get overwritten at all. Memory once allocated, say for
loading an EFI image, cannot be re-requested.


I think we should design this a bit differently.  For example, think
of someone loading a file in a memory region and then a subsystem
trying to resize its reserved memory overwriting that region. Instead
of this flag why don't we add
- A flag that indicates whether this region can be re-used (IOW
overwrites it), but only if the 'subsytem id' defined below matches
- a u32 that indicates the subsystem ID that initiated the transaction
-- e.g EFI, load command, U-Boot core .. etc

Resizing can be enabled unconditionally in that case as long as there
is enough space. The only requirement would be that the request comes
from the same subsystem that reserved the memory in the beginning

Like I mentioned above, resizing(or rather re-allocations) should only
be allowed for the LMB subsystem. Any other module should not be
returned an already allocated address. Which is why I mark any memory
map update coming from the EFI module as no-overwrite.

It would be preferable to replace fixed size arrays by linked lists.
This will allow us to eliminate CONFIG_LMB_MAX_REGIONS.

EFI may create any number of non-coalescable memory regions.
