Subject: [PATCH] acpi - Add support for AddressRangeUnusuable ACPI memory type

Add support for the E820_UNUSABLE memory type, which is defined in
Revision 3.0b (Oct. 10, 2006) of the ACPI Specification on p. 394 Table
14-1:
	AddressRangeUnusuable
	This range of address contains memory in which errors have been
detected. This range must not be used by the OSPM.

This patch applies cleanly to 2.6.26.
