Well, there are EDK2-based machines out there in the field which are
starting to show problems with "high" persistent PMM allocations
happening below 16MiB and polluting the E820 memory map too — which is
the topic of one of my other proposed fixes that should be in the CSM
specification v0.98.

So nothing much surprises me... I suspect that anyone who is actually
paying any attention to detail is already "extending" the spec for
themselves.
