When debugging people's systems it is helpful to see what went on. The load and unload of pmem is an important event. The importance is the number of loaded devices and error status. The exact device's addresses created we can see from the other prints at e820 so no need to duplicate this information. After this patch the important info at dmesg will be: Printed by the e820 code on load: [ +0.000000] user: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000015fffffff] persistent (type 12) [ +0.000000] user: [mem 0x0000000160000000-0x00000001dfffffff] persistent (type 12) ...
