However, on systems with more than 2GB of RAM, RAM bank 1 does describe this extra RAM, so that Linux (or whatever OS) can use it, subject to DMA limitations. Since board_get_usable_ram_top() points at the top of RAM bank 0, the memory locations describes by RAM bank 1 are not mapped by U-Boot's MMU configuration, and so cannot be used for anything. For some completely inexplicable reason, U-Boot's EFI support ignores the value returned by board_get_usable_ram_top(), and EFI memory allocation routines will return values above U-Boot's RAM top. This causes U-Boot to crash when it accesses that RAM, since it isn't mapped by the MMU. One use-case where this happens is TFTP download of a file on Jetson TX1 (p2371-2180). This change explicitly tells the EFI code that this extra RAM should not be used, thus avoiding the crash. A previous attempt to make EFI honor board_get_usable_ram_top() was rejected. So, this patch will need to be replicated for any board that implements board_get_usable_ram_top().
