Hi Alex,
that is great news!
I think that patch 13 is an error (on my part) and it should be dropped.
Can you confirm that 1-12,14,15,__va_efi also works on superdome?
You mentioned some PAL problems in your previous email. Are these
still a problem?
I have spent a bit of time poking around to see extra places
where __va_efi() may be needed. I have found a bunch of places
were we pass in __va() addresses into pal/sal/efi calls, but
I think that these are all safe as the appropriate fault handlers
are in place. In any case, I will poke around a bit more.
