It's not that some implementations don't "support" higher addresses, it's that the EFI_FILE_PROTOCOL is buggy and it corrupts the memory when reading into it; you can allocate it just fine. At least, that's what I remember from the limited investigation I performed. But since grub doesn't use EFI_FILE_PROTOCOL, we should be cool. -- Matt Fleming, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
