Subject: [MULTIBOOT2 DOC PATCH v3 01/13] multiboot2: Replace u_phys with u32
Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2016 23:52:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1481064781-16949-2-git-send-email-daniel.kiper@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1481064781-16949-1-git-send-email-daniel.kiper@oracle.com>
u_phys is used just in two places and sometimes it may confuse reader.
Additionally, GRUB multiboot2 implementation does not use u_phys anywhere.
So, replace it with basic well defined and used in implementation u32 type.
