So if MAINTAINERS says we review apei stuff, it doesn't mean that you
should completely stop doing that! :-P

So this looks like a fix to me since it didn't do the + 1 before.

I don't believe this would break any APEI stuff but it should be tested
a little just in case.

Jeez, this is silly: we compute resource size just so that __request_region()
can "uncompute" it back:

        res->start = start;
        res->end = start + n - 1;

Lovely.
