    Subject[PATCH v2 0/3] x86/boot: Introduce the kernel_info et consortes
    Date
    Hi,

    Due to very limited space in the setup_header this patch series introduces new
    kernel_info struct which will be used to convey information from the kernel to
    the bootloader. This way the boot protocol can be extended regardless of the
    setup_header limitations. Additionally, the patch series introduces some
    convenience features like the setup_indirect struct and the
    kernel_info.setup_type_max field.
