3.7 Virtual Memory Services
This section contains function definitions for the virtual memory support that may be optionally
used by an operating system at runtime. If an operating system chooses to make EFI runtime
service calls in a virtual addressing mode instead of the flat physical mode, then the operating
system must use the services in this section to switch the EFI runtime services from flat physical
addressing to virtual addressing. Table 3-12 lists the virtual memory service functions described in
this section.
