Keep pace with changes to linux arch/x86/kernel/e820.c to
function e820_type_to_string(). With this change, the following
messages from kexec are eliminated (and allows kexec to load):
Unknown type (Reserved) while parsing /sys/firmware/memmap/8/type.
Please report this as bug. Using RANGE_RESERVED now.
Unknown type (Unknown E820 type) while parsing /sys/firmware/memmap/4/type.
Please report this as bug. Using RANGE_RESERVED now.
