Or we could do what Andrew suggested some time ago, and extend %p to do 
resource printing, like %pS and %pF.

TOTALLY UNTESTED! But something like this might allow

	printk(KERN_DEBUG "  reserve_region: (%s) %pR\n"
		res->name, res);

and if I did things right it should print

	reserve_region: (name) [xx-xx]

and maybe it's worth it. We certainly do seem to have a fair number of 
those irritating casts for resource printouts.
