[RFC PATCH 0/3] efi: put an API version number in the PE/COFF header

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After having added new ways to load the initrd and the mixed mode kernel,
we will need to tell the loader about this, so it can use the new, generic
method if supported, and fall back to the existing method(s) otherwise.

This is an RFC - if there are better ways to record this in the image
somehow, please shout.
