The patch titled
i386: paravirt boot sequence
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
i386-paravirt-boot-sequence.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: i386: paravirt boot sequence
From: Rusty Russell <rusty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This patch uses the updated boot protocol to do paravirtualized boot.
If the boot version is >= 2.07, then it will do two things:
1. Check the bootparams loadflags to see if we should reload the
segment registers and clear interrupts. This is appropriate
for normal native boot and some paravirtualized environments, but
inapproprate for others.
2. Check the hardware architecture, and dispatch to the appropriate
kernel entrypoint. If the bootloader doesn't set this, then we
simply do the normal boot sequence.
