Resource providers set this flag if they want
that request_region will print a warning in dmesg
if this particular memory resource is locked by a driver.
Thous acting as a Protocol Police about experimental
devices that did not pass a committee approval.
The Only user of this flag is x86/kernel/e820.c that
wants to WARN about UNKNOWN memory types.
NOTE: It would be preferred if I defined a general flag say
IORESOURCE_WARN, where any kind of resource provider
can WARN on use, but we have run out of flags in the
32bit long systems. So I defined a free bit from the
resource specific flags for mem resources. This is
why I need to check if this is a memory resource first
so not to conflict with other resource specific flags.
(Though actually no one is using this specific bit)
