[PATCH v2] x86: e820: Implement a range manipulation operator

2018-02-02 Thread Jan H . Schönherr
Add a more versatile memmap= operator, which -- in addition to all the things that were possible before -- allows you to: - redeclare existing ranges -- before, you were limited to adding ranges; - drop any range -- like a mem= for any location; - use any e820 memory type -- not just some
