Xen: - calls EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.GetMemoryMap() - takes note of the memory regions for its own usage - create the fdt notes, including efi-mmap-start, with a pointer to it > Does it pass the raw values returned by EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.GetMemoryMap() > through to the xen,uefi-* properties, or does is make any static > assumptions about what the values will be? It just passes the raw values. > I'm trying to get a feeling for what the behaviour will be if/when a > version of the EFI spec expands the memory map format. Linux is likely to get the memory map in the same format as it's provided on native. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-efi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
