Fengguang,

Is there a need to hide the initrd?  If gPXE relocates to underneath it,
malloc() and umalloc() should allocate below the initrd's base, should
they not?

H. Peter,

Could you please confirm whose responsibility it is to mark the initrd
in the E820 map, if anyone's?  I couldn't find it in
linux/Documentation/i386/boot.txt, but a glance at Syslinux' linux.c32
suggested that it gets marked.

Thank you for your time,

- Shao Miller
