Now I know that you _REALLY_ aren't listening to us. We said to use LMB because 1) it already exists 2) many platforms have been using it for years and 3) it doesn't lack the features you're now having to add to e820. Instead of trying to use LMB, you're just addding feature after feature to e820 in order to bring it up to having parity with LMB. You're wasting a lot of time, and you're completely ignoring an existing facility that has been working on and used for many years. And you've never ever convinced any of us familiar with LMB why you keep doing this, and why LMB can't be used for what you need this generic e820 crap for. I'm absolutely flabbergasted at this point, you really have no value for the feedback you've been given. None at all. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
