Make struct boot_params a real structure, and remove obsolete fields Make struct boot_params a real structure, and remove the handling of some obsolete fields, in particular hd*_info, which was only used by the ST-506 driver, and likely to be wrong for that driver on any modern BIOS.

[x86 setup] Make struct ist_info cross-architecture, and use in setup code Make "struct ist_info" valid on both i386 and x86-64, and use the structure by name in the setup code. Additionally, "Intel SpeedStep IST" is redundant, refer to it as IST consistently. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Make asm-x86/bootparam.h includable from userspace. To actually write a bootloader (or, say, the lguest launcher) currently requires duplication of these structures. Making them includable from userspace is much nicer. We merge the common userspace-required definitions of e820_32/64.h into e820.h for export. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

[x86] remove uses of magic macros for boot_params access Instead of using magic macros for boot_params access, simply use the boot_params structure. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

update boot spec to 2.07 Updates for version 2.07 of the boot protocol. This includes: load_flags.KEEP_SEGMENTS- flag to request/inhibit segment reloads hardware_subarch - what subarchitecture we're booting under hardware_subarch_data - per-architecture data The intention of these changes is to make booting a paravirtualized kernel work via the normal Linux boot protocol.
