*	efi: memmap: Move EFI fake memmap support into x86 arch tree	Ard Biesheuvel	2022-11-18	1	-10/+0
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	The EFI fake memmap support is specific to x86, which manipulates the EFI memory map in various different ways after receiving it from the EFI stub. On other architectures, we have managed to push back on this, and the EFI memory map is kept pristine. So let's move the fake memmap code into the x86 arch tree, where it arguably belongs.

*	x86/efi: Add efi_fake_mem support for EFI_MEMORY_SP	Dan Williams	2019-11-07	1	-0/+10
	Given that EFI_MEMORY_SP is platform BIOS policy decision for marking memory ranges as "reserved for a specific purpose" there will inevitably be scenarios where the BIOS omits the attribute in situations where it is desired. Unlike other attributes if the OS wants to reserve this memory from the kernel the reservation needs to happen early in init. So early, in fact, that it needs to happen before e820__memblock_setup() which is a pre-requisite for efi_fake_memmap() that wants to allocate memory for the updated table. Introduce an x86 specific efi_fake_memmap_early() that can search for attempts to set EFI_MEMORY_SP via efi_fake_mem and update the e820 table accordingly. The KASLR code that scans the command line looking for user-directed memory reservations also needs to be updated to consider "efi_fake_mem=nn@ss:0x40000" requests.
