Merge branch 'x86-boot-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 bootup changes from Ingo Molnar: "Deal with bootloaders which fail to initialize unknown fields in boot_params to zero, by sanitizing boot params passed in. This unbreaks versions of kexec-utils. Other bootloaders do not appear to show sensitivity to this change, but it's a possibility for breakage nevertheless." * 'x86-boot-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, boot: Sanitize boot_params if not zeroed on creation
