any type

if type != 0, the will only check entries with same type.

int
e820_any_mapped(u64 start, u64 end, unsigned type)
{
int i;

for (i = 0; i < e820.nr_map; i++) {
struct e820entry *ei = &e820.map[i];

if (type && ei->type != type)
continue;
if (ei->addr >= end || ei->addr + ei->size <= start)
continue;
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
