Matt just mentioned on IRC that we might not need boot services mappings by the time we have to start the kexec kernel, which would mean, you don't have to do anything in efi_reserve_boot_services(). The question which needs answering first though is, how the whole efi thing is going to handle any functionality like calling into efi boot regions from runtime functions and such. Which hasn't really been tested and fw vendors don't really want to support that. But this is all bits and pieces I heard yesterday so it is all pretty wet and I'll let efi guys, i.e. the Matts and a couple of others :-), figure out this whole issue. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
