This is the bug report of trying to boot into U-Boot on arm64 with more than 3GB of memory.
OK, so can we just please fix this, for v2024.01, in a way that won't make things harder? Fixed memory addresses aren't the right choice.
It actually doesn't use fixed addresses. That was the previous version. I believe this is the right fix, until...
We need to have the discussion about memory allocation/reservation elsewhere, outside of this patch, to have something that works for everyones use-cases. And possibly a similar discussion about when data structures get populated/updated.
This is the thread that needs to be started.
But just for the tables (SMBIOS and ACPI) I would like to use bloblist, as is done on x86. It keeps all the tables in one place and provides allocation, etc.
