resource definitions that just define start, end and flags = IORESOURCE_MEM
or IORESOURCE_IRQ (with start=end) are quite common. So introduce a shortcut
for them. Also make available a macro to specify named resources of both
types which are less common.

What do others think, is this worthwhile?
Should we also define macros for IORESOURCE_IO and IORESOURCE_DMA?

It would help if we could see some usage examples (ie: sample
conversions), to get a better idea of the value of this.

Also, DEFINE_RES_NAMED() is going to need a bunch of argument
parentheses to make it bulletproof.
