At present calling lmb_reserve() (and hence lmb_add_region()) twice for exactly the same memory region will cause strange behaviour. This makes life difficult when booting from a flat device tree with memory reserve map. Which regions are automatically reserved by the kernel has changed over time, so it's quite possible a newer kernel could attempt to auto-reserve a region which is also explicitly listed in the device tree's reserve map, leading to trouble. This patch avoids the problem by making lmb_reserve() ignore a call to reserve a previously reserved region. It also removes a now redundant test designed to avoid one specific case of the problem noted above. At present, this patch deals only with duplicate reservations of an identical region. Attempting to reserve two different, but overlapping regions will still cause problems. I might post another patch later dealing with this case, but I'm avoiding it now since it is substantially more complicated to deal with, less likely to occur and more likely to indicate a genuine bug elsewhere if it does occur.
