Is an x86_64 EFI firmware required to have 2 entry points, one x86_64 and one in ia32 mode ? If that's not the case, it means that an i386 kernel won't be able to work correctly on an EFI powered x86_64 box... > How about adding EFIAPI prefix before efi runtime service function, this > prefix has different definition in different architecture. Have you any objection to the second patch I posted? It's not only a matter of passing arguments, ia64 does quite a lot of things in its wrapper functions. I can easily imagine that such additional work could be added in the i386 wrappers if EFI becomes more widely used. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
