On some systems, not all RAM may be usable within U-Boot. Maybe the
memory maps are incomplete, maybe it's used as workaround for broken
DMA. But whatever the reason may be, a platform can say that it does
not wish to have its RAM accessed above a certain address by defining
board_get_usable_ram_top().

In the efi_loader world, we ignored that hint, mostly because very few
boards actually have real restrictions around this.

So let's honor the board's wish to not access high addresses during
boot time. The best way to do so is by indicating the respective pages
as "allocated by firmware". That way, Operating Systems will still
use the pages after boot, but before boot no allocation will use them.

v1 -> v2:

  - Reserve banks that start above ram_top
  - Improve inline comments
  - Fix 32bit target with ram_top = 0 (>=4G)

Don't you need to &= ~EFI_PAGE_MASK after the U32_MAX assignment too? 
Perhaps just do that once:

	u64 ram_top = board_get_usable_ram_top(0);
	/* Fix for 32bit targets with ram_top at 4G */
	if (!ram_top)
		ram_top = U32_MAX;
	ram_top &=  & ~EFI_PAGE_MASK;

Otherwise,

Why don't you set ram_top to (1 << 32)? ram_top is u64 anyway. We do not
want something ending with 0xfff to be passed to efi_add_memory_map.

Are we sure there will never be 64bit machines with a memory bank ending
at 1 << 64? What would be the value of ram_end and ram_top in such a case?

Regards

Ugh, yes. Of course. And obviously that's 0x100000000ULL to make sure it
works fine on 32bit :).

I think we can be pretty sure of that, yes :). No machine today even
comes close to that many physical address bits supported.
