Line 60:
In reality, this function returns an unsorted list that may contain unused entries and (in rare/dodgy cases) may return overlapping areas.
Each list entry is stored in memory at ES:DI, and DI is <b>not</b> incremented for you. The format of an entry is 2 uint64_t's and a uint32_t in the 20 byte version,
plus one additional uint32_t in the 24 byte ACPI 3.0 version
It is probably best to always store the list entries as 24 byte quantities -- to preserve uint64_t alignments, if nothing else. (Make sure to set
that last uint64_t to 1 before each call, to make your map compatible with ACPI).
