System and method of supporting virtual mappings for shared firmware
contents in a computer system are described. In one embodiment, the
method comprises, responsive to a function call issued by a processor,
determining whether address translation has been enabled for the issuing
processor; and responsive to a determination that address translation has
been enabled, determining an ID of the issuing processor; identifying a
Physical-to-Virtual ("PTV") Map corresponding to the issuing processor;
extracting from the identified PTV map a virtual address corresponding to
a physical address passed in the function call; and returning the virtual
address to the issuing processor.
