The minimum size ; structure returned by the BIOS is 20 bytes. ; EBX Continuation Contains the continuation value to get the ; next address descriptor. The actual ; significance of the continuation value is up ; to the discretion of the BIOS. The caller ; must pass the continuation value unchanged ; as input to the next iteration of the E820 ; call in order to get the next Address Range ; Descriptor.
