Ingo Molnar 8ec67d97bf x86/boot/e820: Rename the basic e820 data types to 'struct e820_entry' and 'struct e820_array'
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.
