Peter Anvin <hpa@xxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Mon, 11 May 2009 16:17:05 -0700 x86, boot: make kernel_alignment adjustable; new bzImage fields Make the kernel_alignment field adjustable; this allows us to set it to a large value (intended to be 16 MB to avoid ZONE_DMA contention, memory holes and other weirdness) while a smart bootloader can still force a loading at a lesser alignment if absolutely necessary. Also export pref_address (preferred loading address, corresponding to the link-time address) and init_size, the total amount of linear memory the kernel will require during initialization. [ Impact: allows better kernel placement, gives bootloader more info ] Signed-off-by: H.
