Btw., with the extra explanations added to the changelog I am happy with the
series and have applied it to x86/boot and pushed it out. If we decide to
simplify
the code it will be much easier to simplify correctly working, well documented
code.
It would be nice to do another pass at the in-code comments and at the general
code structure, to make sure all this is properly explained and structured.
Thanks,
