today I did a fast test applying the "newer" multiboot patch I found
from coreboot repo
(https://review.coreboot.org/plugins/gitiles/memtest86plus/+/8cc1aeb540a02d9600491ca5fa799b7c8f25c363
based on Vladimir Serbinenko taken here), refreshed for 5.31b
(https://salsa.debian.org/debian/memtest86plus/-/commit/deed716beaefcd25dd676b291801df7421f1fbf0),
did also a small change to fix build fails
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/memtest86plus/-/commit/326577b966a18c7c743be36c82985f52c5155804

but testing it on one computer on multiboot entry memtest freeze always
at start, so seems another changes/fix are needed

if someone want test it:
