A test-build of e820.o with -Wswitch-enum shows the following warnings:
arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: In function ‘e820_type_to_string’:
arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:965:2: warning: enumeration value ‘E820_TYPE_RESERVED’ not handled in switch [-Wswitch-enum]
switch (entry->type) {

switch (entry->type) {

switch (type) {

Here's the four warnings:
- The one in e820_type_to_string() is a borderline bug, we should differentiate
known-reserved E820 types from unknown types. Fix it by printing a separate
message for unknown E820 types.
- The ones in e820_type_to_iomem_type(), e820_type_to_iores_desc() and
do_mark_busy() are worth documenting, at least to the extent of
enumerating them explicitly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
