[PATCH -mm] x86 boot : export boot_params via sysfs

Huang, Ying
2007-12-11T08:50:19Z

This patch export the boot parameters via sysfs. This can be used for
debugging and kexec.

The files added are as follow:

/sys/kernel/boot_params/data : binary file for struct boot_params
/sys/kernel/boot_params/version : boot protocol version

This patch is based on 2.6.24-rc4-mm1 and has been tested on i386 and
x86_64 platoform.
