Address some peculiarities specific to T2: - Reserved memory at top is very large, either 512 MB or 1536 MB, and only lowest 512 MB is for OS use. - Some ranges in /arm-io/ranges is not aligned to the page size. We align them ourselves instead. - On models with a screen, the framebuffer is extremely narrow at 60 pixels in width, so add a smaller logo. Signed-off-by: Nick Chan <[email protected]>
- Some devices does not have a display internal or external, do not try to prepare framebuffer on it. - The SSD cache on T2 can be used as normal memory, so add it to /memory in addition to the normal memory described by iBoot. - Only half of the memory channels are used on T2 with 1 GB of memory, and this fact must be learned at runtime because the amount of memory depends on the storage configuration of the host Mac.
