Subject: [PATCH 05/32] x86/boot/e820: Print gaps in the E820 table
Date: Thu, 15 May 2025 14:05:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250515120549.2820541-6-mingo@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250515120549.2820541-1-mingo@kernel.org>
Gaps in the E820 table are not obvious at a glance and can
easily be overlooked.
Print out gaps in the E820 table:

Also warn about badly ordered E820 table entries:
BUG: out of order E820 entry!
( this is printed before the entry is printed, so there's no need to
print any additional data with the warning. )
