Additionally, GRUB2 implementation calls ExitBootServices() on them just before jumping into loaded image. In this situation loaded system could not clearly identify reserved memory regions, EFI runtime services regions and others.Yes, that is exactly why we added full support to pass the entire UEFI memory map via a new tag.Can you send this patch? Or provide a link to publically available source? I think we can accept it with probably just minor changes. Sure :). Just as an FYI, the changes are available in one of the zips from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/opensource/systems-solaris-1562786.html(their size is rather comical of course, but only because they include ALL FOSS source shipped with Solaris 11.1). I'll try to isolate that change and base it against the current trunk. We may need to change the tag id, as I ended up using an OEM-specific number for it; I didn't want to conflict with new tags.
