Initial support for auxilliary data vector

2007-12-13T21:55:54+00:00

Initial support for the auxillary data vector, a storage mechanism
intended to support boot-once and similar features.

cdecl helper is 3.54 material

Add support for thunking cdecl/stdcall-style real-mode code

2007-11-21T02:51:54+00:00

Add support for thunking cdecl/stdcall-style 16-bit functions which
pass parameters on the stack.  This is necessary in order to be able
to call PnPBIOS functions without using the (rather scary) PM
interface.

Preserve ES:DI instead of probing for $PnP

2007-11-15T04:51:23+00:00

The $PnP probe has been found to lock up at least one machine for
reasons unknown.  Drop it; instead, burn the extra few bytes in the
bootsector to save away ES:DI for later restore.

Final cleanup does return.

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
