Abstract
A method of re-mapping memory regions for firmware run-time services to a virtual address space of a kernel executed on a processor, includes the steps of selecting a re-mapping policy for re-mapping the memory regions for the firmware run-time services, creating a new mapping according to the selected re-mapping policy, and making a call to an application programming interface exposed by the firmware to apply the new map and re-map the memory regions for the firmware to the virtual address space of the kernel.
