In general, dropping the EBDA below 0x9a000 is probably a

if you then have, for example, a PXE stack layered on top of your SCSI
BIOS.

the EBDA is properly formed.
However, it is considered 'bad behavior' to allocate much more than 4k
of EBDA as we find others (not Linux) that depend on the 640K region of
memory run out of this precious resource. Beware of sev
