Support chaining shuffle descriptors when buffer is too small

2007-03-30T20:33:47+00:00

Provide a method for re-loading shuffle descriptors from a buffer in
high memory when the shuffle descriptors are too many to fit in the
buffer.  This can happen when trying to stitch an initramfs together
from parts.  Still need library support for this, however.

Rename the new version 3.50 instead of 3.40; too many new things.

Stealth whitespace cleanup (automated)

2007-03-15T05:07:09+00:00

Add a register-setting shuffle and boot for real mode; clean up headers.

2007-03-15T04:50:36+00:00

- Add an API function to shuffle and boot which sets *all* RM registers;
- Move those structures to  and

Fix the shuffle and boot interface. It was probably always broken.

Add support for using a shuffle descriptor to bzero rather than bcopy

2007-03-13T22:57:03+00:00

When source address is set to -1, do a bzero instead of a bcopy.

New API call: cleanup, shuffle and boot to flat protected mode

2007-03-11T23:26:35+00:00

Add an API call to invoke flat protected mode; e.g. to boot an ELF kernel.

Formatting cleanups

2007-03-07T19:07:52+00:00

Add new PXE keyword (we might have to distinguish from BOOT at some point)

2007-02-20T01:41:21+00:00

Assume 3.40 will be the first version which fixes Read Disk.
