Subject[PATCH v2 0/3] Introduce "efi_fake_mem_mirror" boot option
Date
UEFI spec 2.5 introduces new Memory Attribute Definition named
EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE which indicates which memory ranges are
mirrored. Now linux kernel can recognize which memory ranges are mirrored
by handling EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE attributes.
However testing this feature necesitates boxes with UEFI spec 2.5 complied
firmware.

This patchset introduces new boot option named "efi_fake_mem_mirror".
By specifying this parameter, you can mark specific memory as
mirrored memory. This is useful for debugging of Memory Address Range
Mirroring feature.

v1 -> v2:
- change abbreviation of EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE from "RELY" to "MR"
- add patch (2/3) for changing abbreviation of EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME
- migrate some code from arch/x86/platform/efi/quirks to
drivers/firmware/efi/fake_mem.c and create config EFI_FAKE_MEMMAP

Taku Izumi (3):
efi: Add EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE support to efi_md_typeattr_format()
efi: Change abbreviation of EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME from "RUN" to "RT"
x86, efi: Add "efi_fake_mem_mirror" boot option
