Ok, but what about configurable encryption algorithms? Maybe there are
people who don't want to use sha-2 and prefer something else instead.

I wonder if this could be put into arch/x86/boot/ and built there too...
But hpa said that already.

Yeah, can we drop this boilerplate gunk and refer to COPYING instead.

Huh, is the purpose to simply clear the arch registers here?

	xor %reg,%reg

?

If so, you don't need the entry64_regs and below definitions at all.

Yeah, again, hardcoding sha256 is kinda jucky. We probably should link
the needed crypto API stuff stuff and support multiple encryption algos.

What is this thing supposed to do? I see in patch 11/11
arch_update_purgatory() does some preparations for KEXEC_TYPE_CRASH.

I'm guessing we want to support 32-bit secure boot with kexec at some
point...

Boilerplate gunk.

Bah, that's a huge patch - it could use some splitting.
