Subject: [PATCH] x86, e820: panic on sanitizing invalid memory map
sanitize_e820_map returns two possible values:
-1: Returned when either the provided memory map has length 1 (ok) or
when the provided memory map is invalid (not ok).
0: Returned when the memory map was correctly sanitized.
In addition, most code ignores the returned value, and none actually
handles it (except possibly by panicking).
This patch changes the behavior so that sanitize_e820_map is a void
function. When the provided memory map has length 1 or it is sanitized
(both ok cases), it returns nothing. If the provided memory map is
invalid, then it panics.
