Re: [Patch 1/1] x86 efi: Fill all reserved memmap entries if add_efi_memmapspecified.

...
in setup.c::setup_arch()

setup_memory_map();
parse_setup_data();
/* update the e820_saved too */
e820_reserve_setup_data();
...
parse_early_param();
...
finish_e820_parsing();



efi memmap is appended to e820 by parse_setup_data
e820_reserve_setup_data() will copy e820 to e820_saved.


or do you have old boot loader

if (boot_params.hdr.version < 0x0209)
return;

I saw that too, and wondered why e820_saved did not
have the extra entries. The comment indicates it
should.

I'm on the system tonight and will investigate this
further.

Thanks!
Mike
