Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] firmware: dmi_scan: Pass dmi_entry_point to kexec'ed kernel
Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2016 21:54:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161202195416.58953-3-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161202195416.58953-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>
Until now kexec'ed kernel has no clue where to look for DMI entry point.
Pass it via kernel command line parameter in the same way as it's done for ACPI
RSDP.
