Is it doable to determine coreboot RAM location at runtime?
Hmm I dont know how v3 works. But ACPI assumes that there must be 8MB from the 1MB continuous, so maybe we can even do a hole after 8MB ;) (and call it ACPI NVS, for example).
That wont work. I read some spec that demanded continuous ram from 0-16MB, and I thus inferred that I could put a hole after 16MB. Unfortunately after I did this, I found that it broke some linux installers. I believe they had a large initrd which consumed more than the first 16MB of ram.
Putting the hole at the end of ram definitely works though.
