[PATCH] efi/libstub: arm*: Pass latest memory map to the kernel

Fri Dec 9 10:24:03 PST 2016


As reported by James, the current libstub code involving the annotated
memory map only works somewhat correctly by accident, due to the fact
that a pool allocation happens to be reused immediately, retaining its
former contents.

Instead of juggling memory maps, which makes the code more complex than
it needs to be, simply put a placholder value into the FDT, and only
write the actual value after ExitBootServices() has been called.
