Also, please add a "lguest: " prefix to all future commits.

Otherwise, in the one-line summary, it is impossible to tell what
portion of the kernel is being updated:

Use "struct boot_params" in example launcher
Loading bzImage directly.
Rename "cr3" to "gpgdir" to avoid x86-specific naming.
Pagetables to use normal kernel types
Move register setup into i386_core.c
Accept elf files that are valid but have sections that can not
be mmap'ed for some reason.

git tools are all keyed to use that first line as a summary of the
changeset, without giving any other context whatsoever. See Linus's
2.6.X-rcY announcements, for example.

This is also described in akpm's
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt or my
http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html
