There was a very long discussion about this, see http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=144321258920213 > The handling of the existing linux standard nodes can be made > Xen-specific by the presence of the /hypervisor/compatible == "xen" node > (or similar), right? > > > +________________________________________________________________________________ > > +Name | Size | Description > > +================================================================================ > > +xen,uefi-system-table | 64-bit | Physical address of the UEFI System > > Table. > > +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > +xen,uefi-mmap-start | 64-bit | Physical address of the UEFI memory > > map. > > +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > I would probably say "Guest physical address..." just to be clear. > > > +xen,uefi-mmap-size | 32-bit | Size in bytes of the UEFI memory map > > + | | pointed to in previous entry. > > +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > +xen,uefi-mmap-desc-size | 32-bit | Size in bytes of each entry in the > > UEFI > > + | | memory map. > > +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > +xen,uefi-mmap-desc-ver | 32-bit | Version of the mmap descriptor format. > > +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Need a reference to the mmap descriptor format here. > > David > _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
