[PATCH -mm -v5 1/3] i386/x86_64 boot: setup data

From: Huang, Ying
Date: Fri Oct 12 2007 - 01:50:46 EST


This patch add 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.
