Hi, I am investigating how linux initializes the memory in IA64 machine. the flow, very broadly (i think) is: **start_kernel-> setup_arch-> find_memory-> efi_memmap_walk ** ( it does all all other things like unwind_init, efi_init, etc, inbetween). The function efi_memmap_walk uses the "IA64_boot_param" structure to read the memory map. I wanted to know where and how this structure is initialized, I mean how does it access the EFI table. Are call-backs used to initialize this structure..??..Do these call-backs use the API's to EFI table management...? Please do help....
