Now I know that you _REALLY_ aren't listening to us.

We said to use LMB because 1) it already exists 2) many
platforms have been using it for years and 3) it doesn't
lack the features you're now having to add to e820.

Instead of trying to use LMB, you're just addding feature after
feature to e820 in order to bring it up to having parity with LMB.

You're wasting a lot of time, and you're completely ignoring an
existing facility that has been working on and used for many
years.

And you've never ever convinced any of us familiar with LMB why you
keep doing this, and why LMB can't be used for what you need this
generic e820 crap for.

I'm absolutely flabbergasted at this point, you really have no
value for the feedback you've been given.

None at all.
