Subject: Xen/ARM multiboot (v2) support
Date: Fri, 24 May 2013 00:38:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <519E9A76.9030607@calxeda.com> (raw)

Hi Ian,

can we push multiboot v2 support for Xen/ARM still into 4.3?
It looks like it can coexists with zImage in the same binary - the 
multiboot structure can be put just behind the zImage header and the 
code can determine how it has been started: zImage bootloaders clears 
r0, multiboot one's would set r0 to the MB magic.
I will sketch a patch tomorrow, just wondering if we can have this in 
4.3 to have a sane booting protocol from the very beginning.
Of course bootloaders need to be enabled also, I could take care of the 
u-boot port.

Regards,
Andre.
