This patch is correct in that it makes things balanced, but I don't
think it is the right behaviour. I've just posted a patch that does it
the other way around, based on a patch that Pantelis posted doing the
same thing, but without refactoring at the same time.

Instead of filtering out the non-MEM/IO resources, the new code checks
the parent pointer on removal, because that is the safe test of if a
resource has been registered in the first place.
