x86/boot/e820: Implement a range manipulation operator
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 predefined ones. The syntax is: memmap=<size>%<offset>-<oldtype>+<newtype> Size and offset work as usual. The "-<oldtype>" and "+<newtype>" are optional and their existence determine the behavior: The command works on the specified range of memory limited to type <oldtype> (if specified). This memory is then configured to show up as <newtype>. If <newtype> is not specified, the memory is removed from the e820 map. Signed-off-by: Jan H.

The memory region may be marked as e820 type 12 (0xc)

and is NVDIMM or ADR memory.

[KNL,ACPI] Convert memory within the specified region

from <oldtype> to <newtype>. If "-<oldtype>" is left

out, the whole region will be marked as <newtype>,

even if previously unavailable. If "+<newtype>" is left
|

out, matching memory will be removed. Types are

specified as e820 types, e.g., 1 = RAM, 2 = reserved,

3 = ACPI, 12 = PRAM.

Some BIOSes seem to corrupt the first 64k of

memory when doing things like suspend/resume.
