scenarios where the memblock flags or nid varies inside a single PA range ?
I guess the commit message description here can be improved to accommodate
such details.

These markers ^^^ are not aligned properly, and also might not be
required as well.

Please drop this.

Why drop the existing %4d formatting qualifier ?

Should there be ORed string values for each memblock flag ?

enum memblock_flags {
        MEMBLOCK_NONE           = 0x0,  /* No special request */
        MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG        = 0x1,  /* hotpluggable region */
        MEMBLOCK_MIRROR         = 0x2,  /* mirrored region */
        MEMBLOCK_NOMAP          = 0x4,  /* don't add to kernel direct mapping */
        MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED = 0x8,  /* always detected via a driver */
};

Something like NN | HT | MR | NM | DM ?
