Firmware Test Suite - memmapdump utility

This utility dumps the system memory map. This information is simply derived from /sys/firmware/memmap which in turn has gathered this data at boot time using the Int 0x15 AX=0xe820 on a traditional BIOS or via the memory map protocol boot service on a UEFI system.

Example output is as follows:

Dump system memory map.
