From: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@xxxxxxxxxx> These messages: clipped [mem size 0x00000000 64bit] to [mem size 0xfffffffffffa0000 64bit] for e820 entry [mem 0x0009f000-0x000fffff] aren't as useful as they could be because (a) the resource is often IORESOURCE_UNSET, so we print the size instead of the start/end and (b) we print the available resource even if it is empty after removing the E820 entry. Print the available space by hand to avoid the IORESOURCE_UNSET problem and only if it's non-empty. No functional change intended.
