Please remove "This patch".

The original code determines the maximum width based on resources 
supported by the platform.

 From what I understand this changes what some users will see. In the 
original code the "max_name_width" is computed based on the maximum 
length of resources supported. Systems that only support MBA would thus 
show a schemata of:

MB:0=100;1=100

I expect the above change would change the output to:
     MB:0=100;1=100
