I'm sorry, I have to admit to not understanding the difference. I do
not want to change the number of hex digits from fixed 16 digits, as
that will make the output harder to read when printed in a block (as is
normal for the early e820 dump). The [mem] prefix seems redundant with
(usable), or am I misreading this?
