I disagree with the patch in general, and I strongly disagree with this
specific change in particular. This part:

- breaks the alignment for the right side of the table

- completely defeats another of my goals with the original patch, which
was to be able to get an overview of memory attributes *at a glance*.
That only works if each column is strictly associated with one bit,
and your gaze can slide over empty stretches.

Please compare how you visually execute a search for the next
runtime region (or the next non-WB line) before and after.

Your patch shaves off 30 characters of the width if I measured it right
(goes from 131 to 101.) I don't believe that would justify breaking the
alignment of the columns. For example, you could remove 15 characters
from the right just with "dmesg -t" (timestamps are probably not overly
important for printing the memmap).

Also, how the table looks on the character console while booting is of
absolutely no consequence (for me at least).

Anyway it's a matter of taste. I know you work with this every day so if
it doesn't meet your needs then I won't insist preserving it. I won't
NACK the patch it but I certainly won't ACK it either.

Thanks
