From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up on ia64
because of an infinite loop. In addition, the parsing code can be handled
in an architecture-independent manner.
Is this boot option documented anywhere in the kernel source tree?


Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

Thanks, my bad. I failed to look at that file in -mm.
