According to Rick's reply in this thread a damaged row in a DIMM can
easily cause a few thousand entries in the e820 table because it doesn't
handle patterns. So the question I'm asking is, is it acceptable to
have an e820 table with thousands maybe ten-thousands of entries?
I really have no idea of the implications, maybe somebody else can
comment on that.

I don't think it makes sense to handle something like that with a list.
The compact representation currently in badram is great for that.
