Hi Xiantao,

I haven't had a chance to try your patch yet, but it seems that it's
crashing while trying to copy the firmware image.

It's basically dying in ipf_init1() in this memcpy, around line 487:

		{
			fw_start = kvm_create_phys_mem(kvm_context, (uint32_t)(-image_size),
					image_size, 0, 1);
			if (!fw_start)
				exit(1);
			fw_image_start = fw_start + GFW_SIZE - image_size;
			memcpy(fw_image_start, image, image_size);  <===


Cheers,
Jes
