SubjectRE: [PATCH 1/2] x86: Set up resources correctly on Hyper-V Generation 2
Date
Compared to a patch which removes 5 lines of code, almost any additional work is ocean-boiling.

Feature parity for all platforms is the NFIT which Hyper-V is already implementing.

Setting that aside, if we want to fix memmap= for the general case, implementing a table like mBFT does not amount to ocean boiling in my opinion.
