xloadflags bit0 is set if kernel is relocatable and 64bit.
bootloader will check if xloadflags bit0 is set to decicde if
it could load ramdisk and kernel high above 4G.
bootloader will fill value to ext_ramdisk_image/size for high 32bits
when it load ramdisk above 4G.
kernel use get_ramdisk_image/size to use ext_ramdisk_image/size to get
right positon for ramdisk.
sentinel is used so kernel could find out if ext_* and other fields have
valid values set in boot_params from bootloader.
Update header version to 2.12.
-v2: add ext_cmd_line_ptr for above 4G support.
-v3: update to xloadflags from HPA.
-v4: use fields from bootparam instead setup_header according to HPA.
-v5: add checking for USE_EXT_BOOT_PARAMS
-v6: use sentinel to check if ext_* are valid suggested by HPA.
HPA said:
1. add a field in the uninitialized portion, call it "sentinel";
2. make sure the byte position corresponding to the "sentinel" field is
nonzero in the bzImage file;
3. if the kernel boots up and sentinel is nonzero, erase those fields
that you identified as uninitialized;
-v7: change to 0x1ef instead of 0x1f0, HPA said:
it is quite plausible that someone may (fairly sanely) start the
copy range at 0x1f0 instead of 0x1f1
-v8: add some comments for sentinel
and clear more bits for sentinel according to HPA.
