I don't have a problem with that. We might have to do something interesting with the MP tables. But it should work just fine. You are the one who originally insisted the LinuxBIOS table be at 0. All of my code looks in boot places for the LinuxBIOS table first 0-4K then 0xf0000 - 0xFFFF. > It just hit us the other day that with DoC on certain boards, the PIRQ and > other tables end up in the 8 segment (that is not a typo) and linux never > finds the right tables.
