No, I don't think your change log is right. Actually the old code is using address as value. if the old code would be like: kaslr_enabled = (bool)(*(unsigned char *)(pa_data + sizeof(struct setup_data))); then your change log would be good, but the old code is kaslr_enabled = (bool)(pa_data + sizeof(struct setup_data)); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
