Cover letter [U-Boot] [PATCH 0/2] efi_loader: Add bounce buffers
Quoted 11 lines · Alexander Graf

While testing our shiny new EFI support, I stumbled across systems that have disk I/O hardware that can only access the lower 32bits of our physical address space.

This is not a problem when running with the normal U-Boot flow, since we define all "pointers" that get in use in our environment, so we can just put them inside the lower 32bits.

But when a higher level application such as an EFI payload comes across, it doesn't know about these constraints. So we need to allocate bounce buffers for the payload and use them instead.

Alexander,

The low 32-bit physical memory is required for this to work, isn't it? There was a discussion to move to high memory for LS2080 so the memory can be continuous for OS.
