  • The Documentation/i386 and Documentation/x86_64 directories and their
    contents have been moved into Documentation/x86. Fix references to
    those files accordingly.

  • Commit ecd29476ae0143b1c3641edfa76c0fc3e9ad3021 removed the
    "disable_8254_timer" and "enable_8254_timer" kernel parameters from
    the kernel but did not remove the references to them from two
    files in the Documentation directory: kernel-parameters.txt and
    x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt.

    This change completes the removal.

  • Applies on top of the previous patch:
    x86 boot: add code to add BIOS provided EFI memory entries to kernel

    Instead of always adding EFI memory map entries (if present) to the
    memory map after initially finding either E820 BIOS memory map entries
    and/or kernel command line memmap entries, -instead- only add such
    additional EFI memory map entries if the kernel boot option:

    add_efi_memmap

    is specified.

    Requiring this 'add_efi_memmap' option is backward compatible with
    kernels that didn't load such additional EFI memory map entries in
    the first place, and it doesn't override a configuration that tries
    to replace all E820 or EFI BIOS memory map entries with ones given
    entirely on the kernel command line.

  • The current organization of the x86 documentation makes it appear as
    if the "i386" documentation doesn't apply to x86-64, which is does.
    Thus, move that documentation into Documentation/x86, and move the
    x86-64-specific stuff into Documentation/x86/x86_64 with the eventual
    goal to move stuff that isn't actually 64-bit specific back into
    Documentation/x86.
