Subject: [PATCH 19/20] x86_64: Extend bzImage protocol for relocatable kernel
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 17:58:26 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061117225826.GT15449@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20061117223432.GA15449@in.ibm.com>



o Extend the bzImage protocol (same as i386) to allow bzImage loaders to
  load the protected mode kernel at non-1MB address. Now protected mode
  component is relocatable and can be loaded at non-1MB addresses.

o As of today kdump uses it to run a second kernel from a reserved memory
  area.
