How useful do you think this is in general? Would it make sense to have a
dedicated PhysAddrRange type in kernel crate that provides this feature?

If you want to make this more generic, you can gate the size printing on
`f.alternate()`. So if people use `{:?}` to print a compact form of `FbLayout`,
they get just the range, and if they use `{:#?}` then they also get the sizes.

I would either just use IEC prefix "MiB", or alternatively use the coreutils
convention and use "M" to represent MiB.
