1- I dont think we should be worried about names that are too long. I'd much rather have a long name than a non-descriptive one (or in this case a totally misleading one) 2- Changing the attribute shouldn't be that big of a deal. 3 - dimm_mask isn't exposed to the mainboard layer which is where we need it.
As for 'why we need it', we have a post card which displays the DIMM population map on boot for our ops guys...
1. I'm ok with long names. These are rarely typed, more often read, and should be correct. 2. yeah 3. yeah, expose as much info as we can. We're a bios.
can you send us a diff in -u format so we can take a look?
