The limit stems from log->bios_event_log_end and is calculated as follows:

 log->bios_event_log_end = log->bios_event_log + len;

The '>=' above is correct since the limit address itself is not part of 
the log anymore.

The log is the following sequence of addresses:

[log->bios_event_log ... log->bios_event_log + len - 1 ]

or

[log->bios_event_log ... log->bios_event_log + len [

with ']' meaning inclusive and '[' meaning exclusive.
