x86 has a slightly more straightforward registration method. We end up
going through the same path for all memory ranges, which also
encapsulates the NUMA case. As such, we don't necessarily know which
range will contain the resource in question, so it's attempted on each
range addition, expecting the resource manager to work things out for us.

With the request_resource() in place you presumably see the crash kernel
resource where you expect it to in /proc/iomem?
