Hello!
Would you accept patches, which a) add printing MiB, GiB, ... ADDITIONALy to MB, GB, .. b) replace GB with GiB ?
If so, I would check the kernel source for occurences of those units and replace the calculation.
Imho, it would be nicer to print GiB only, because it's the more accurate unit (today).
You can have a look at GiB and co. at wikipedia, if you are not familar with it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte
Sincerly
Nico
P.S.: Please CC me on reply.
