Hi Heinrich, Thank you for your inputs. Ilias will update us on this proposal today hopefully. I understand that you cannot join today, but you will have the minutes and we can have a quick summary next call and continue the discussion by e-mail, too. On my side I could verify the following aspects: - Those functions are optional at RunTime in UEFI - Linux can boot with and without calling SetVirtualAddressMap(), and AFAICT it never calls ConvertPointer() I thus wonder if your comment about not being able to boot a generic OS without those is maybe a bit too strong?
