These are the only comments that Linux gives about the memory layout: efi.trim_top: ignoring 4KB of memory at 0x0 due to granule hole at 0x0 efi.trim_top: ignoring 24KB of memory at 0x1000 due to granule hole at 0x0 efi.trim_top: ignoring 8KB of memory at 0x7000 due to granule hole at 0x0 efi.trim_top: ignoring 484KB of memory at 0x9000 due to granule hole at 0x0 efi.trim_top: ignoring 4KB of memory at 0x84000 due to granule hole at 0x0 efi.trim_top: ignoring 108KB of memory at 0x85000 due to granule hole at 0x0 efi.trim_bottom: ignoring 15360KB of memory at 0x100000 due to granule hole at 0x0 efi.trim_bottom: ignoring 7168KB of memory at 0x7d900000 due to granule hole at 0x7d000000 Virtual mem_map starts at 0xa0007fffffc70000 On node 0 totalpages: 64916 DMA zone: 64916 pages, LIFO batch:4 Normal zone: 0 pages, LIFO batch:1 HighMem zone: 0 pages, LIFO batch:1 Built 1 zonelists Let me know if you need more info! -- Jens Axboe
