      sparc64: Fix crash with /proc/iomem · 192d7a46

      When you compile kernel on Sparc64 with heap memory checking and type
      "cat /proc/iomem", you get a crash, because pointers in struct
      resource are uninitialized.
      
      Most code fills struct resource with zeros, so I assume that it is
      responsibility of the caller of request_resource to initialized it,
      not the responsibility of request_resource functuion.
      
      After 2.6.29 is out, there could be a check for uninitialized fields
      added to request_resource to avoid crashes like this.
