Since we are trying to predict the future, I don't think we should stop just shy of a power-of-two. I don't know where the 120k number comes from, but I don't think we should bet on the next power-of-two minus 8k. Regarding the event log, it has been ignored in OVMF, but I'd like to ask around a bit to see if it could be useful to have more than 4k. > If you'd like us to go, say, 504KB live varstore, 1MB NV, and 5MB or 6MB > total, I'm game. Uh, no. I'd rather go with 128k, and I'd also rather stay with 2MB. :) -Jordan _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel
