Subject: [PATCH 07/32] x86/boot/e820: Print out sizes of E820 memory ranges
Date: Thu, 15 May 2025 14:05:23 +0200 [thread overview]

Note how a 1-digit precision field is printed out if a range is
fractional in its largest-enclosing natural size unit.
So the "256 MB" and "12 GB" fields above denote exactly 256 MB and
12 GB regions, while "1.9 GB" signals the region's fractional nature
and it being just below 2GB.
Printing E820 maps with such details visualizes 'weird' ranges
at a glance, and gives users a better understanding of how
large the various ranges are, without having to perform hexadecimal
subtraction in their minds.
