int 15 e820h

[YhLu]

Ron,

When kernel is loading, it will call int 15, e820h to get memory map.

Where does LinuxBIOS put the int 15 e820h processing code?

Regards

It does not have any mkelfImage bypass that piece of kernel code.
We read an equivalent table out of the LinuxBIOS table and pass it to the
kernel instead.

nowhere. This is the idea behind Eric's linuxbios tables.

Also IIRC we do have e820 tables in memory: has linux stopped using them?

Linux used to say: "We don't need no steenking BIOS". With the later 2.4.x 
and 2.6, they seem to be saying "We really need the steenking BIOS". What 
is going on with Linux? They're moving backwards.

We really don't want to support INT type stuff.
