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 the tip of the current git tree (with the
merged 32/64b e820.c file).
