Btw, make this one "static" - I don't think anybody outside of this file 
should ever use it anyway.

And this:

is probably worthy of a comment. 

And finally:

instead of duplicating the conditional and always having to worry about it 
matching, how about just making it

		if (!res->parent)
			insert_resource(&iomem_resource, res);

which basically says that "if it's not already inserted, try to re-insert 
it now".
