[PATCH 2/5] x86/efi: Gather initial memory reservation and table handling logic
From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Thu Mar 26 2026 - 09:36:09 EST
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>
Move the back-to-back calls to various EFI routines related to
processing of firmware tables and reserving the associated memory into a
helper function. This is tidier, and will avoid the need to add yet
another function call there in a subsequent patch.
