What kind of system are you testing GRUB 2 (EFI) on?  It would be nice
to know which systems are already supported.

> This patch remove the memmap size limit.

Cool.  Can you please send in this patch in unified diff format (diff
-up) and provide a changelog entry?  And while you on it, most people
here prefer patches being sent inline so it is easier to read and to
give feedback on.

Thanks,
Marco

This is on an ia64 system (Tiger).

Sorry, this is my first patch!

I just noticed that because of your other patches, neat! :-)

Hopefully you didn't see my feedback as evil comments ;-).  My reason
to tell you all this is to get patches in the form we would like to
see them for easy review and quick integration.

Great.  There are a few changes I will make before committing this
patch.  Please have a look at the commit email to see what was changed
and why.  I will most likely commit this patch Sunday evening,
certainly not before that, sorry.

Agreed.  Can you make this change as well?

Wow, I have two unified diffs now, you both make my day. ;-)

This patch is trivial enough to apply without the paperwork, I think.

Overall the patch looks good, I have one comment through; (the patch
is for kern/efi/mm.c if someone wonders.)

+  memory_map = grub_efi_allocate_pages
+    (0, 2 * BYTES_TO_PAGES (memory_map_size + 0x1000));

I suppose you add 0x1000 to round it up.  Maybe we should change the
BYTES_TO_PAGES macro to do roundup.

I'll attach a unified diff, since those is easier to review.

Even through this patch is quite trivial and small, I believe we need
you to sign over the copyright for it to FSF.  Okuji, Marco, what are
your opinions?

Great, I assume you can fixup the changelog entry as well?
