    x86/boot/e820: Rename the basic e820 data types to 'struct e820_entry' and 'struct e820_array' · 8ec67d97
    Ingo Molnar authored
    The 'e820entry' and 'e820map' names have various annoyances:
    
     - the missing underscore departs from the usual kernel style
       and makes the code look weird,
    
     - in the past I kept confusing the 'map' with the 'entry', because
       a 'map' is ambiguous in that regard,
    
     - it's not really clear from the 'e820map' that this is a regular
       C array.
    
    Rename them to 'struct e820_entry' and 'struct e820_array' accordingly.
    
    ( Leave the legacy UAPI header alone but do the rename in the bootparam.h
      and e820/types.h file - outside tools relying on these defines should
      either adjust their code, or should use the legacy header, or should
      create their private copies for the definitions. )
    
    No change in functionality.
