Hi Xiantao,
One of my test systems has VGA, the other does not. We cannot assume
VGA in the system. If the MDT on the tiger4 doesn't describe that
range, then we probably need to at least revert to the test the Linux
kernel uses and test whether that range has a WB memory attribute before
assuming it's VGA. Also, try not to double map the range for platforms
that do describe this as type EFI_MEMORY_MAPPED_IO. Thanks,
Alex
