x86/boot/e820: Simplify the PPro Erratum #50 workaround

No need to print out the table - users won't really be able
to tell much from it anyway and the messages around this
erratum are unnecessarily obtuse.

Instead clearly inform the user that a 256 kB hole is being
punched in their memory map at the 1.75 GB physical address.

Not that there are many PPro users left. :-)
