This is part two of the series to have the EFI and LMB modules have a coherent view of memory. Part one of this goal was to change the LMB module to have a global and persistent memory map. Those patches have now been applied to the next branch.
We should have only one memory map. This will ensure synchronicity. Implementing the ARM64 requirement that 4 KiB pages with conflicting memory attributes cannot be located in the same 64 KiB cannot be reasonably implemented with the concept presented in this patch series. Events should only be used to signal EFI_EVENT_GROUP_MEMORY_MAP_CHANGE. Best regards Heinrich
These patches are changing the EFI memory allocation API's such that they rely on the LMB module to allocate RAM memory. This fixes the current scenario where the EFI memory module has no visibility of the allocations/reservations made by the LMB module. One thing to note here is that this is limited to the RAM memory region, i.e. the EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY type. Any other memory type that is to be added to the EFI memory map, still gets handled by the EFI memory module. Note: To be applied on top of the next branch.
