Any chance of splitting off a "struct boot_params" header (includable by non-kernel code) for inclusion immediately? The rest can wait until 2.6.23, but it'd be sweet to get this in place sooner.
BTW, wrt. a new "platform type" field, should it go something like this?
-0235/3 N/A pad2 Unused +0235/1 2.07+ platform_type Runtime platform (see below) +0236/2 N/A pad2 Unused ... + platform_type: + For kernels which can boot on multiple platforms. Currently + 0 == native (normal), 1 == lguest (paravirtualized).
Thanks, Rusty.
