Subject: [PATCH 2/3] efi/x86: simplify i386 efi_call_phys() firmware call wrapper
Date: Thu, 26 Dec 2019 16:14:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191226151407.29716-3-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191226151407.29716-1-ardb@kernel.org>

The variadic efi_call_phys() wrapper that exists on i386 was
originally created to call into any EFI firmware runtime service,
but in practice, we only use it once, to call SetVirtualAddressMap()
during early boot.
The flexibility provided by the variadic nature also makes it
type unsafe, and makes the assembler code more complicated than
needed, since it has to deal with an unknown number of arguments
living on the stack.

So let's make the prototype of efi_call_phys() non-variadic, and
clean up the assembler code and make it deal with a fixed number
of arguments.
