Commit 7b8fe63561b4 ("OvmfPkg: PlatformPei: enable PCIEXBAR (aka MMCONFIG / ECAM) on Q35", 2016-03-10) claimed that,
On Q35 machine types that QEMU intends to support in the long term, QEMU never lets the RAM below 4 GB exceed 2 GB. Alas, this statement came from a misunderstanding that occurred while we worked out the interface contract. In fact QEMU does allow the 32-bit RAM extend up to 0xB000_0000 (exclusive), in case the RAM size falls in the range (0x8000_0000, 0xB000_0000) (i.e., the RAM size is greater than 2048MB and smaller than 2816MB). In turn, such a RAM size (justifiedly) triggers ASSERT (TopOfLowRam <= PciExBarBase); in MemMapInitialization(), because we placed the 256MB PCIEXBAR at 0x8000_0000 (2GB) exactly, relying on the interface contract. (And, the 32-bit PCI hole would follow the PCIEXBAR, covering the [0x9000_0000, 0xFC00_0000) range.) In order to fix this, reorder the 32-bit PCI hole against the PCIEXBAR, as follows: - start the 32-bit PCI hole where it starts on i440fx as well, that is, at 2GB or TopOfLowRam, whichever is higher; - unlike on i440fx, where the 32-bit PCI hole extends up to 0xFC00_0000, stop it at 0xE000_0000 on q35, - place the PCIEXBAR at 0xE000_0000. (We cannot place the PCIEXBAR at 0xF000_0000 because the 256MB MMIO area that starts there is not entirely free.) Before this patch, the 32-bit PCI hole used to only *end* at the same spot (namely, 0xFC00_0000) between i440fx and q35; now it will only *start* at the same spot (namely, 2GB or TopOfLowRam, whichever is higher) between both boards. On q35, the maximal hole shrinks from 0xFC00_0000 - 0x9000_0000 = 0x6C00_0000 == 1728 MB to 0xE000_0000 - 0x8000_0000 == 1536 MB. We lose 192 MB of the aperture; however, the aperture is now aligned at 1GB, rather than 256 MB, and so it could fit a 1GB BAR even. Regarding the minimal hole (triggered by RAM size 2815MB), its size is 0xE000_0000 - 0xAFF0_0000 = 769 MB which is not great, but probably better than a failed ASSERT.
