Subject: [PATCH] fix number of bytes zeroed by sys_fw_init() in arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/fw-emu.c
Date: Tue, 06 Nov 2007 21:13:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4730D911.9010701@tiscali.nl> (raw)
The sizeof a pointer is constant, we want the sizeof what is pointed to.
--
Zero out 'sizeof(*efi_systab)' bytes of the efi_system_table_t pointer
'efi_systab' instead.
