[Xen-devel] x86: Support loading Linux bzImage v2.08 and up.
The latest -mm kernel (2.6.25-rc3-mm1) contains v2.08 of the Linux bzImage format which embeds an ELF file in place of the raw payload allowing it to be extracted and used by the Xen domain builder. It is expected that this functionality will be put forward for 2.6.26.

My main interest was in making the Debian kernel packages work nicely in domU.
