Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Free up a couple of MAIRs
Date: Thu,  6 May 2021 10:50:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210506095034.15246-1-will@kernel.org> (raw)

Hi folks,

Catalin pointed out that the Device-GRE memory type is unused, despite
having a MAIR allocation. In removing that, I noticed that we also
allocate Normal-WT despite it only being used for EFI_MEMORY_WT mappings,
which can use Normal-NC instead.

With these changes, we free up a couple of MAIR entries for more
interesting things (e.g. outer cacheability attributes if we need them
in future for the SLC).

Patches taken against the arm64 for-next/core branch.

Cheers,

Will
