It would have been clearer if __walk_iomem_res_desc() was able to do
such child res excluding callback (if asked via a new flag/arg) directly
but it's too late in the day to figure out if it's possible. It would
save us from another callback in the arch code. But if it's not possible
or you want to stick to this approach, fine by me:
