Subject: [MULTIBOOT2 DOC PATCH v3 02/13] multiboot2: Replace u_virt with u32
Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2016 23:52:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1481064781-16949-3-git-send-email-daniel.kiper@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1481064781-16949-1-git-send-email-daniel.kiper@oracle.com>
u_virt may sometimes confuse reader especially if description says something
completely different. Additionally, GRUB multiboot2 implementation does not
use u_virt anywhere. So, replace it with basic well defined and used in
implementation u32 type.
