Subject: [PATCH 3/5] x86/boot: Remove hardcoded boot_param constants
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 23:02:54 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724030256.232690-4-brgerst@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724030256.232690-1-brgerst@gmail.com>

Use generated constants or sizeof() instead of hardcoded values.

No functional change.
