Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] x86/boot: Introduce the kernel_info.setup_type_max
Date: Thu,  4 Jul 2019 18:36:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190704163612.14311-4-daniel.kiper@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190704163612.14311-1-daniel.kiper@oracle.com>

This field contains maximal allowed type for setup_data and
setup_indirect structs.

And finally bump setup_header version in arch/x86/boot/header.S.
