UEFI spec 2.5 introduces new Memory Attribute Definition named EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE which indicates which memory ranges are mirrored. Now linux kernel can recognize which memory ranges are mirrored by handling EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE attributes. However testing this feature necesitates boxes with UEFI spec 2.5 complied firmware. This patchset introduces new boot option named "efi_fake_mem_mirror". By specifying this parameter, you can mark specific memory as mirrored memory. This is useful for debugging of Memory Address Range Mirroring feature.
