From 02e43c2dcd3b3cf7244f6dda65a07e8dacadaf8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baoquan He Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2017 21:46:51 +0800 Subject: efi: Introduce efi_early_memdesc_ptr to get pointer to memmap descriptor The existing map iteration helper for_each_efi_memory_desc_in_map can only be used after the kernel initializes the EFI subsystem to set up struct efi_memory_map. Before that we also need iterate map descriptors which are stored in several intermediate structures, like struct efi_boot_memmap for arch independent usage and struct efi_info for x86 arch only. Introduce efi_early_memdesc_ptr() to get pointer to a map descriptor, and replace several places where that primitive is open coded.
