FWIW, I like the idea of having a separate E820_PRAM name for type-12
memory vs future "can't yet disclose" UEFI memory type. The E820_PRAM
type potentially has the property of being relegated to "legacy"
NVDIMMs. We can later add E820_PMEM as a memory type that, for
example, is not automatically backed by struct page. That said, I'm
fine either way.
