From 96e3022cd411db8070716fbc324f8c60137dcfc3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roman Kononov Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:22:59 +0000 Subject: This patch fixes the kernel EBDA mislocation problem. Thank you, Yinghai. The change in tables.c protects the legacy x86 BIOS data segment (0x400-0x4ff) from being used for storing coreboot tables. Some bytes from the segment are used by the kernel and should not be garbled. The change in coreboot_table.c is not strictly necessary. It removes some redundancy and confusion.
