28bb223795 x86: move reserve_setup_data to setup.c
Ying Huang would like setup_data to be reserved, but not included in the
no save range.

Here we try to modify the e820 table to reserve that range early.
also add that in early_res in case bootloader messes up with the ramdisk.

other solution would be
1. add early_res_to_highmem...
2. early_res_to_e820...
but they could reserve another type memory wrongly, if early_res has some
resource reserved early, and not needed later, but it is not removed from
early_res in time. Like the RAMDISK (already handled).

8c5beb50d3 x86 boot: pass E820 memory map entries more than 128 via linked list of setup data
Because of the size limits of struct boot_params (zero page), the
maximum number of E820 memory map entries can be passed to kernel is
128. As pointed by Paul Jackson, there is some machine produced by SGI
with so many nodes that the number of E820 memory map entries is more
than 128. To enabling Linux kernel on these system, a new setup data
type named SETUP_E820_EXT is defined to pass additional memory map
entries to Linux kernel.

This patch is based on x86/auto-latest branch of git-x86 tree and has
been tested on x86_64 and i386 platform.

3b6b9293d0 x86: Honor 'quiet' command line option in real mode boot decompressor.
This patch lets the early real mode code look for the 'quiet' option
on the kernel command line and pass a loadflag to the decompressor.
When this flag is set, we suppress the "Decompressing Linux... Parsing
ELF... done." messages.

afaafe50ee x86: fix up bootparam.h for userspace inclusion
commit 8b664aa66e (x86, boot: add linked
list of struct setup_data) put a new struct in bootparam.h, but didn't
use the userspace-safe types.

8b664aa66e x86, boot: add linked list of struct setup_data
This patch adds a field of 64-bit physical pointer to NULL terminated
single linked list of struct setup_data to real-mode kernel
header. This is used as a more extensible boot parameters passing
mechanism.

5b83683f32 x86: EFI runtime service support
This patch adds basic runtime services support for EFI x86_64 system.  The
main file of the patch is the addition of efi_64.c for x86_64.  This file is
modeled after the EFI IA32 avatar.  EFI runtime services initialization are
implemented in efi_64.c.  Some x86_64 specifics are worth noting here.  On
x86_64, parameters passed to EFI firmware services need to follow the EFI
calling convention.  For this purpose, a set of functions named efi_call<x>
(<x> is the number of parameters) are implemented.  EFI function calls are
wrapped before calling the firmware service.  The duplicated code between
efi_32.c and efi_64.c is placed in efi.c to remove them from efi_32.c.

ee8e7cfe9d 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.

e5371ac566 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.
