<p>The maximum size of an opal message is specified in the device tree passed
to the host OS:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">ibm</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="n">opal</span> <span class="p">{</span>

<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>It is ALWAYS at least 72 bytes. In the future, OPAL may have messages larger
than 72 bytes. Naturally, a HOST OS will only be able to interpret these
if it correctly uses opal-msg-size. Any OPAL message &gt; 72 bytes, a host OS
may safely ignore.</p>
<p>A host OS <em>SHOULD</em> always supply a buffer to OPAL_GET_MSG of either 72
bytes or opal-msg-size. It MUST NOT supply a buffer of &lt; 72 bytes.</p>

This is to keep compatibility with host Operating Systems

prepare for the possible future with either a sensible
error message or by gracefully ignoring such OPAL messages.</p>
