Subject: [PATCH 0/3] memblock: physical memory list cleanups

Just a couple of trivial memblock patches, which could also be merged
into one patch; whatever is preferred.

Since commit 70210ed950b5 ("mm/memblock: add physical memory list")
the memblock structure knows about a physical memory list.

The memblock code should also print a sane name instead of "unknown"
if it calls memblock_type_name() to get a name for the physmem
memblock type.
In addition the physmem list should also be dumped, if present, and
memblock_dump_all is called to improve debugability.

The last patch embeds the memblock type name into the memblock type
structure in order to hopefully make the code a bit more easier and to
get rid of a bit of code duplication.

Thanks,
Heiko

Heiko Carstens (3):
  memblock: let memblock_type_name know about physmem type
  memblock: also dump physmem list within __memblock_dump_all
  memblock: embed memblock type name within struct memblock_type
