According to our firmware guys, that message is trying to say that
something tried to access non-volatile memory outside of the SAL or EFI
address ranges (ie. bad address that happened to hit NVM). I can't
reproduce it on my box. Does it happen every time? Any dependency on
the binary gdb is debugging? Thanks,
Alex
