similar to: [PATCH 8/8] 2.6.17: scan DMI early

From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> When NR_CPUS increases the fixmap might need more than the page allocated by head_32.S. This patch introduces the logic to calculate the additional memory that is going to be required by early_ioremap_page_table_range_init: - enough memory to allocate the pte pages needed to cover the fixmap virtual memory range, minus the single

Hi Linus, This is a huge set of several partly interrelated (and concurrently developed) changes, which is why the branch history is messier than one would like. The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we create initial page tables. In particular, rather than estimating how much memory we will need for

[ This patch depends on the cross-architecture ELF cleanup patch. ] This series updates the boot protocol to 2.07 and uses it to implement paravirtual booting. This allows the bootloader to tell the kernel what kind of hardware/pseudo-hardware environment it's coming up under, and the kernel can use the appropriate boot sequence code. Specifically: - Update the boot protocol to 2.07, which
