Hi, > BTW: what about OVMF and core boot, how would they know that there is more > then 1Tb RAM? They should look at fw_cfg too. Both have support for fw_cfg already, but don't parse the e820 table today. Shouldn't be that hard to add though. cheers, Gerd

We have a fw_cfg entry to pass e820 entries from qemu to the firmware. Today it's used to pass reservations only. This patch makes qemu pass entries for RAM too. This allows to pass RAM sizes larger than 1TB to the firmware and it will also allow to pass non-contignous memory ramges should we dec
