While investigating the grub persistent memory corruption issues, it was helpful to make this table match the ending address convention used by: * the kernel's e820 table prints * the kernel's nosave memory prints * grub's lsmmap and lsefimmap commands * the UEFI shell's memmap command Using the excerpts from the patch, if you grep all the various logs for c7fffffff, you won't find the line with c80000000. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
