Well. Half-hearted code reviews are an illusion of safety, too.
The current code's lar handling is pretty much broken even though that
code was reviewed, but obviously nobody even tested it:
Wrote LinuxBIOS table at: 0x00000500 - 0x00000a54 checksum 401f
Show all devs...
cpus: Unknown device path type: 0
Stage2 code done.
LAR: Attempting to open 'normal/payload'.
LAR: Attempting to open 'normal/payload/segment0'.
LAR: load_file: No such file 'normal/payload/segment0'
It just hangs somewhere bogus and never gets to the defined error in
arch/x86/stage1.c:194: die("FATAL: No usable payload found.\n");
also the current code contains quite some warnings again regarding
int-to-pointer casts in lar.c and pointer-to-int cast and uninitialized
variable use in stage1.c
