From 8035d3ea78c2a61a9738c7857742370e0aa74d5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal Date: Wed, 2 May 2007 19:27:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: Extend bzImage protocol for relocatable bzImage o Extend the bzImage protocol (same as i386) to allow bzImage loaders to load the protected mode kernel at non-1MB address. Now protected mode component is relocatable and can be loaded at non-1MB addresses. o As of today kdump uses it to run a second kernel from a reserved memory area.
