yes, this bounce buffer is just below tolm with the size twice of (&_eram_seg - &_ram_seg). I'm now having trouble with mtrr, after setting variable mtrr, data gets corrupted. If only set and enable fixed range mtrr, everything works fine except that I have to reserve extra space near the tolm or filo couldn't start. With variable mtrr not set(but enabled by earlymtrr), the linux kernel could be booted though the speed is aweful...
