From 09c205afde70c15f20ca76ba0a57409dad175fd0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2013 10:43:28 -0800 Subject: x86, boot: Define the 2.12 bzImage boot protocol Define the 2.12 bzImage boot protocol: add xloadflags and additional fields to allow the command line, initramfs and struct boot_params to live above the 4 GiB mark. The xloadflags now communicates if this is a 64-bit kernel with the legacy 64-bit entry point and which of the EFI handover entry points are supported. Avoid adding new read flags to loadflags because of claimed bootloaders testing the whole byte for == 1 to determine bzImageness at least until the issue can be researched further. This is based on patches by Yinghai Lu and David Woodhouse.
