Hi Luis,

Thank you for the reviews and sorry for being a bit slow to respind.

As with all (EFI) early boot code, there simply is a certain order
in which things need to be done. This needs to happen after the basic
mm is setup, but before efi_free_boot_services() gets called, there
isn't really a way to check for all these conditions. As with all
early boot code, people making changes need to be careful to not
break stuff.

Basically this is another way of writing:

for (i = 0; (i + desc->length) < size; i += 8) {

That is a good point, unlikely but still a good point,
so I guess that writing:

for (i = 0; (i + desc->length) < size; i += 8) {

Instead would better as that avoids the need for that check.
I will fix this for the next version.

Regards,

Hans
