Re: [edk2-devel] PcdNoACPIReclaimMemory Usage

["Oliver Smith-Denny via groups.io" <osde=linux.microsoft.com@groups.io>]

Are you able to share any more details? Say what the feature is and why
the tables must be in EfiAcpiMemoryNVS? Is this DRTM related?

We are trying to understand OS implications as well as for other
platforms. If the feature is not publicly released, I understand,
but certainly would appreciate if there are any more details that are
allowed to be shared publicly.

Thanks,
Oliver
