Thanks. I'll take this for the next cycle, but would you mind adding a
preceding patch that drops the 'early' from the macro name and updates
the existing users (not the ones in arch/x88/boot, which has its own
private copy for some reason). The 'early' is kind of irrelevant, and
no longer accurate now that we use the macro for the memory attributes
table as well as the memory map.
