Provide EFI support for SOS could cause weird issues. For example, hypervisor works based on E820 table whereras it's possible that the memory map from EFI table is not aligned with E820 table. The SOS kernel kaslr will try to find the random address for extracted kernel image in EFI table first. So it's possible that none-RAM in E820 is picked for extracted kernel image. This will make kernel boot fail. This patch removes EFI support for SOS by not passing struct boot_efi_info to SOS kernel zeropage, and reserve a memory to store RSDP table for SOS and pass the RSDP address to SOS kernel zeropage for SOS to locate ACPI table. The patch requires SOS kernel version be high than 4.20, otherwise the kernel might fail to find the RSDP.

ACRN Hypervisor ############### The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the "ACRN Device Model". The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and embedded devices. You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_ website. .. _`Project ACRN`: https://projectacrn.org .. _`ACRN Hypervisor`: https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor .. _`Project ACRN documentation`: https://projectacrn.github.io/
