[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 0/5] multiboot2 protocol support

[Doug Goldstein <cardoe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a series based on v11 of Daniel Kiper's
"x86: multiboot2 protocol support" series. It aims to collect up all the
fixes and changes that Andrew Cooper, Jan Beulich and myself discovered in
code review and testing on actual hardware. I've had problems with the
relocation portion of the series so I've dropped it as all the hardware I
am needing to support presently for my $EMPLOYER does not load anything at
the 1mb mark. To me this adds MB2 support for all pieces of hardware that
don't have things located at 1mb so it's an incremental step. I've also
dropped the early command line conversion to C as it was done in support
of the relocation changes and therefore not necessary. In the end my goal
is to help Daniel out by providing the portion of the series that works
on half a dozen physical machines I've tested with and integrates all
changes as discussed on the v11 thread. The reason I am posting this is that
Daniel has said he won't be able to address feedback and issues identified
for another 2 weeks but my requirements from my $EMPLOYER are more immediate
than that.
