x86/boot/e820: Print gaps in the E820 table

Browse source 
Gaps in the E820 table are not obvious at a glance and can
easily be overlooked.

Print out gaps in the E820 table:

Before:

	BIOS-provided physical RAM map:

Also warn about badly ordered E820 table entries:

	BUG: out of order E820 entry!

( this is printed before the entry is printed, so there's no need to
  print any additional data with the warning. )
