Subject: Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH V2 21/28] OvmfPkg: Update PlatformPei to support TDX
Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2021 01:31:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <PH0PR11MB488559528CF50E75B8D609058CB99@PH0PR11MB4885.namprd11.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211013044925.edspdvhh5t5baxez@sirius.home.kraxel.org>
We have to relocate based upon best practice.
The mailbox must be in ACPI-NVS. And the ACPI-NVS should be in high memory.
The original mailbox location is in low memory. If we do not relocate to high memory, then the OS will see a hole in low memory.
That is not preferred.
Thank you
Yao Jiewen
