From 37ba7ab5e33cebc25c68fffe33e9f21e7c2014e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Mon, 11 May 2009 15:56:08 -0700 Subject: 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.
