No reason, really.  "consistency".  It made the code slower, larger
and, err, not compile.

And it was done as four patches in one, making reversion impossible.
Ho hum.

    x86: memtest: adapt log messages
    
    - print test pattern instead of pattern number,
    - show pattern as stored in memory,
    - use proper priority flags,
    - consistent use of u64 throughout the code
