[PATCH] acpi memory hotplug cannot manage _CRS with plural resoureces



Current acpi memory hotplug just looks into the first entry of resources in
_CRS.  But, _CRS can contain plural resources.  So, if _CRS contains plural
resoureces, acpi memory hot add cannot add all memory.

With this patch, acpi memory hotplug can deal with Memory Device, whose
_CRS contains plural resources.

Tested on ia64 memory hotplug test envrionment (not emulation, uses alpha
version firmware which supports dynamic reconfiguration of NUMA.)

Note: Microsoft's Windows Server 2003 requires big (>4G)resoureces to be
      divided into small (<4G) resources. looks crazy, but not invalid.
      (See http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/pnppwr/hotadd/hotaddmem.mspx)
      For this reason, a firmware vendor who supports Windows writes plural
      resources in a _CRS even if they are contiguous.
