From a24e785111a32ccb7cebafd24b1b1cb474ea8e5d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2007 16:41:35 -0700 Subject: i386: paravirt boot sequence 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. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Acked-by: H. Peter Anvin Cc: "Eric W.
