Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Documentation/x86: Update EFI memory region description
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2015 22:00:51 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1447538451-5793-6-git-send-email-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1447538451-5793-1-git-send-email-matt-mF/unelCI9GS6iBeEJttW/XRex20P6io@public.gmane.org>
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,
