Subject: [PATCH 6/6] Documentation/x86: Update EFI memory region description
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2015 15:40:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1447342823-3612-7-git-send-email-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1447342823-3612-1-git-send-email-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk>
Make it clear that the EFI page tables are only available during EFI
runtime calls since that subject has come up a fair numbers of times
in the past.
Additionally, add the EFI region start and end addresses to the table
so that it's possible to see at a glance where they fall in relation
to other regions.

Current X86-64 implementations only support 40 bits of address space,
