Subject: [PATCH 13/14] x86: make CONFIG_RELOCATABLE the default
Date: Thu, 7 May 2009 15:27:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1241735222-6640-14-git-send-email-hpa@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1241735222-6640-1-git-send-email-hpa@linux.intel.com>
From: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
Remove the EXPERIMENTAL tag from CONFIG_RELOCATABLE and make it the
default. Relocatable kernels have been used for a while now, and
should now have identical semantics to non-relocatable kernels when
loaded by a non-relocating bootloader.

---help---
This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
