Now this is strange - ACPI spec doesn't explicitly say that range type 0
is invalid. Am I looking at the wrong place?

"Table 15-312 Address Range Types12" in ACPI spec 6.

If 0 is really the invalid entry, then e820_print_type() needs updating
too. And then the invalid-entry-add should be a separate patch.

The 0 return (originally) was to indicate that an e820 entry for the
range wasn't found. This series just gave it a name.  So it's not that
the type field held a 0.  Since 0 isn't defined in the ACPI spec I don't
see an issue with creating it and I can add a comment to the effect that
this value is used for the type when an e820 entry isn't found. I could
always rename it to E820_TYPE_NOT_FOUND if that would help.

Or if we want to guard against ACPI adding a type 0 in the future, I
could make the function return an int and then return -EINVAL if an e820
entry isn't found.  This might be the better option.

Thanks,
Tom

Yap, think so too. I don't trust specs anyway :)
