Yes, IORES_DESC_RESERVED is supposed to denote the e820 reserved type.
Why should IORES_DESC_NONE include it ?!?!

IORES_DESC_NONE is, well, an invalid, i.e., "none" type:

/*
* I/O Resource Descriptors
*
* Descriptors are used by walk_iomem_res_desc() and region_intersects()
* for searching a specific resource range in the iomem table. Assign
* a new descriptor when a resource range supports the search interfaces.
* Otherwise, resource.desc must be set to IORES_DESC_NONE (0).
*/

I'm looking at the hunks below and you're changing ->desc assignments in
some random function which doesn't look like you know what you're doing.
Maybe it gets you what you want but it sure as hell doesn't look right
to me.
