Thanks for tracing that!

When creating a correct fix, this document may be of help:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/boot.txt

- From your patch I'd guess that protocol version 2.10+ fields, which
include the INIT_SIZE field, may not be populated correctly by coreboot.

For reference, there is also an open bug report on this issue here:
