Subject: [PATCH 1/4] x86 boot: Jump to the entry point address in the elf header.
Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2012 23:52:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fw915sv4.fsf_-_@xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87k3yd5sxt.fsf@xmission.com> (Eric W. Biederman's message of "Sun, 08 Jul 2012 23:50:38 -0700")
Since we have the kernel's entry point stored in the ELF header use it,
and stop hardcoding the value.
