  • This removes the old i386 setup code. This is done as a separate patch
    to avoid breaking git bisect as some of the i386 code was also used by
    the old x86-64 code.

  • The EDD code would scan the command line as a fixed array, without
    taking account of either whitespace, null-termination, the old
    command-line protocol, late overrides early, or the fact that the
    command line may not be reachable from INITSEG.

    This should fix those problems, and enable us to use a longer command
    line.

  • The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on
    the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32.
    With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries
    reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128.

    The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820).
    As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect
    on bootloader-setup code interface.

    Patch covers both i386 and x86-64.

    Tested on:
    * grub booting bzImage
    * lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled
    * pxeboot of bzImage

    Side-effect:
    bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K
    on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
