A couple of general comments below.  I don't feel particularly strongly
about any of them however if you disagree! (other than the ever important
number of blank lines!) :)

Similar to below. If we are only putting MEM of type SOFT_RESERVED in here
can we drop those two as parameters?

The flags seem perhaps redundant.  Trade off between matching the more complex
existing functions and simplfying this.  Maybe push them down into the
call and just have
        rc = region_intersects_soft_reserved(res->start, resource_size(res));
here?

Local style seems to be single line breaks - stick to that unless I'm missing
some reason this one is special.

Perhaps the shortening of code makes it worth implementing this as:

        guard(read_lock)(&resource_lock);
        return __region_intersects();

Or ignore that until someone feels like a more general use of that
infrastructure in this file.  Looks like there are a bunch of places
where I'd argue it is worth doing.
