+What:		/sys/firmware/memmap/
+Date:		June 2008
+Contact:	Bernhard Walle <bwalle@suse.de>
+Description:
+		On all platforms, the firmware provides a memory map which the
+		kernel reads. The resources from that memory map are registered
+		in the kernel resource tree and exposed to userspace via
+		/proc/iomem (together with other resources).
+
+		However, on most architectures that firmware-provided memory
+		map is modified afterwards by the kernel itself, either because
+		the kernel merges that memory map with other information or
+		just because the user overwrites that memory map via command
+		line.
+
+		kexec needs the raw firmware-provided memory map to setup the
+		parameter segment of the kernel that should be booted with
+		kexec. Also, the raw memory map is useful for debugging. For
+		that reason, /sys/firmware/memmap is an interface that provides
+		the raw memory map to userspace.
+
+		The structure is as follows: Under /sys/firmware/memmap there
+		are subdirectories with the number of the entry as their name:
+
+			/sys/firmware/memmap/0
+			/sys/firmware/memmap/1
+			/sys/firmware/memmap/2
+			/sys/firmware/memmap/3
+			...
+
+		The maximum depends on the number of memory map entries provided
+		by the firmware. The order is just the order that the firmware
+		provides.
+
+		Each directory contains three files:
+
+		start	: The start address (as hexadecimal number with the
+			  '0x' prefix).
+		end	: The end address, inclusive (regardless whether the
+			  firmware provides inclusive or exclusive ranges).
+		type	: Type of the entry as string. See below for a list of
+			  valid types.
+
+		So, for example:
+
+			/sys/firmware/memmap/0/start
+			/sys/firmware/memmap/0/end
+			/sys/firmware/memmap/0/type
+			/sys/firmware/memmap/1/start
+			...
+
+		Currently following types exist:
+
+		  - System RAM
+		  - ACPI Tables
+		  - ACPI Non-volatile Storage
+		  - reserved
+
+		Following shell snippet can be used to display that memory
+		map in a human-readable format:
+
+		-------------------- 8< ----------------------------------------
+		  #!/bin/bash
+		  cd /sys/firmware/memmap
+		  for dir in * ; do
+		      start=$(cat $dir/start)
+		      end=$(cat $dir/end)
+		      type=$(cat $dir/type)
+		      printf "%016x-%016x (%s)\n" $start $[ $end +1] "$type"
