Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86 boot: add E820_RESVD_KERN
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:32:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1214461978.10809.6.camel@caritas-dev.intel.com> (raw)

This patch add a new type to E820 table named E820_RESVD_KERN, which
is used for memory area reserved for kernel itself instead of BIOS.

This patch is based on latest x86/master branch of git-x86 tree and
has been tested on i386 and x86_64 platform.
