Subject: [PATCH v2 15/19] x86/efi: Use iterator API when mapping EFI regions for runtime
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 10:05:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260319090529.1091660-36-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260319090529.1091660-21-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Use the generic EFI memory map iterators to invoke efi_map_region() on
each entry in the map. x86_64 and i386 traverse the map in opposite
order, so the two cases are handled separately.
