[RFC -mm 0/2] i386/x86_64 boot: 32-bit boot protocol

2007-09-17 Thread Huang, Ying
For machine with some new BIOS other than legacy BIOS, such as EFI, LinuxBIOS, etc, and kexec, the 16-bit real mode setup code in kernel based on legacy BIOS can not be used, so a 32-bit boot protocol need to be defined. This patchset defines a 32-bit boot protocol for i386 and x86_64. A linked
