x86/boot/e820: Call the PCI gap a 'gap' in the boot log printout
It is a bit weird and inconsistent that the PCI gap is advertised during bootup as 'mem'ory: [mem 0xc0000000-0xfed1bfff] available for PCI devices ^^^ It's not really memory, it's a gap that PCI devices can decode and use and they often do not map it to any memory themselves. So advertise it for what it is, a gap: [gap 0xc0000000-0xfed1bfff] available for PCI devices Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Andy Shevchenko <andy@kernel.org> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@kernel.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> Cc: "H .
