Subject: [RFC] [PATCH 16/16] x86_64: Extend bzImage protocol for relocatable bzImage
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 11:51:15 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061113165115.GQ17429@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20061113162135.GA17429@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.
