2007-10-25	x86 setup: sizeof() is unsigned, unbreak comparisons	H. Peter Anvin	1	-2/+2
	We use signed values for limit checking since the values can go negative under certain circumstances. However, sizeof() is unsigned and forces the comparison to be unsigned, so move the comparison into the heap_free() macros so we can ensure it is a signed comparison. Signed-off-by: H.

2007-10-25	x86 setup: handle boot loaders which set up the stack incorrectly	H. Peter Anvin	1	-2/+2
	Apparently some specific versions of LILO enter the kernel with a stack pointer that doesn't match the rest of the segments. Make our best attempt at untangling the resulting mess. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-10-23	x86: clean up setup.h and the boot code	H. Peter Anvin	1	-1/+1
	Make <asm/setup.h> usable by the boot code. Clean up vestiges of the old command-line protocol from setup.h and head_32.S (it is still supported from the boot loader point of view, since it is converted to the new command-line protocol by the boot code.)
