This is a simple patch which allows payloads to be placed in memory in the range of 0xf0000-0x100000, where the Coreboot tables live in v2. As long as the payload doesn't need the tables, it seems harmless, so why not just print a warning?
It will definitely break your interrupt routing ... While I agree this is OK for testing, we have to find a better solution for this.
Yes.
As soon as we decide how we want to pass information to legacybios, it should be clear what the better solution is.
One solution is a libpayload-based loader that copies the information and passes the relevant parts to legacybios. Until legacybios uses any of that information, though, it might as well be copied over.
Thanks, Myles
