From a2daf83e10378ff4ef61f75da710cac9b84e3eaa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Graf Date: Fri, 9 May 2025 00:46:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/e820: temporarily enable KHO scratch for memory below 1M KHO kernels are special and use only scratch memory for memblock allocations, but memory below 1M is ignored by kernel after early boot and cannot be naturally marked as scratch. To allow allocation of the real-mode trampoline and a few (if any) other very early allocations from below 1M forcibly mark the memory below 1M as scratch. After real mode trampoline is allocated, clear that scratch marking.
