Peter Anvinhpa@zytor.com2008-05-31T00:19:03+00:00urn:sha1:23deb06821442506615f34bd92ccd6a2422629d7
The current organization of the x86 documentation makes it appear as
if the "i386" documentation doesn't apply to x86-64, which is does.
Thus, move that documentation into Documentation/x86, and move the
x86-64-specific stuff into Documentation/x86/x86_64 with the eventual
goal to move stuff that isn't actually 64-bit specific back into
Documentation/x86.

Document QUIET_FLAG, correct the definition of several fields, make it
clear this applies to the entire x86 architecture, not just i386.

Also update field names to simply payload_{offset,length} so as to not rule
out uncompressed images.

x86 boot: document for 32 bit boot protocol2007-10-29T23:22:22+00:00Huang, Yingying.huang@intel.com2007-10-24T02:18:49+00:00urn:sha1:aa69432a68fb0aec49551fd69fe920a6df572573
This patch documents the 32-bit boot protocol of x86. It has been used
by Kexec and LinuxBIOS. This patch is based on the proposal of Peter
Anvin.

update boot spec to 2.072007-10-22T15:13:17+00:00Rusty Russellrusty@rustcorp.com.au2007-10-21T23:41:33+00:00urn:sha1:e5371ac566b6794f2125393b6850909de9e16f58
Updates for version 2.07 of the boot protocol. This includes:
load_flags.KEEP_SEGMENTS- flag to request/inhibit segment reloads
hardware_subarch - what subarchitecture we're booting under
hardware_subarch_data - per-architecture data
The intention of these changes is to make booting a paravirtualized
kernel work via the normal Linux boot protocol.
