Subject: [PATCH-for-11.0 v6 13/13] hw/i386: Remove linuxboot.bin
Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2025 07:09:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251203060942.57851-14-philmd@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251203060942.57851-1-philmd@linaro.org>
All machines now use the linuxboot_dma.bin binary, so it's safe to
remove the non-DMA version (linuxboot.bin).
Suggested-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>
