Thanks for the PR. Can you tell me a bit more about your use case? I don't think there's anything wrong with doing this, but I'd like to understand a bit more about why it's necessary. |

Not a serious use case at all, just playing around with manually loading some binaries & toy kernels which may run after boot services have been exited. I could obviously pass along the map more manually (maybe even following an established boot protocol) but this is nice for a toy. |

I want to hand over a memory map to a binary that uses the same version of
uefibut may have been compiled with different rustflags; this makes it easier to do so soundly.Checklist
