Add a kernel parameter option to 'edd' to enable/disable BIOS Enhanced Disk
Drive Services. CONFIG_EDD_OFF disables EDD while still compiling EDD into
the kernel. Default behavior can be forced using 'edd=on' or 'edd=off' as
a kernel parameter.

This patch adds a field of 64-bit physical pointer to NULL terminated
single linked list of struct setup_data to real-mode kernel
header. This is used as a more extensible boot parameters passing
mechanism.

The kernel decompressor wrapper uses memory located beyond the
end of the image. This might lead to hard to debug problems,
but even if it can be proven to be safe, it is at the very
least unclean. I don't see any advantages either, unless you
count it not being zeroed out as an advantage. This patch
moves the boot-heap area to the bss segment.

Move wakeup code to .c, so that video mode setting code can be shared
between boot and wakeup. Remove nasty assembly code in 64-bit case by
re-using trampoline code. Stack setup was fixed to clear high 16bits
of %esp, maybe that fixes some machines.
.c code sharing and morse code was done H. Peter Anvin, Sam Ravnborg
reviewed kbuild related stuff, and it seems okay to him. Rafael did
some cleanups.
[rjw:
* Made the patch stop breaking compilation on x86-32
* Added arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep.h
* Got rid of compiler warnings in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep.c
* Fixed 32-bit compilation on x86-64 systems
* Added include/asm-x86/trampoline.h and fixed the non-SMP
compilation on 64-bit x86
* Removed arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep_32.c which was not used
* Fixed some breakage caused by the integration of smpboot.c done
under us in the meantime]

In arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c, the variable vidmem is
the only variable that ends up in de data segment. It's also
superfluous, because the first thing the code does is:
if (RM_SCREEN_INFO.orig_video_mode == 7) {
vidmem = (char *) 0xb0000;
vidport = 0x3b4;
} else {
vidmem = (char *) 0xb8000;
vidport = 0x3d4;
}
This patch removes the initialisation.

The new x86 setup code (4fd06960f1) broke booting on an old P3/500MHz
with an onboard Voodoo3 of mine. After debugging it, it turned out
to be caused by the fact that the vesa probing now asks for VBE2 data.
Disassembing the video BIOS shows that it overflows the vesa_general_info
structure when VBE2 data is requested because the source addresses for the
information strings which get strcpy'ed to the buffer lie outside the 32K
BIOS code (and hence contain long sequences of 0xff's).

(The full BIOS can be found at http://peter.korsgaard.com/vgabios.bin
if interested).
The old setup code didn't ask for VBE2 info, and the new code doesn't
actually do anything with the extra information, so the fix is to simply
not request it. Other BIOS'es might have the same problem.

The proper way to terminate the e820 chain is with %ebx == 0 on the
last legitimate memory block. However, several BIOSes don't do that
and instead return error (CF = 1) when trying to read off the end of
the list. For this error return, %eax doesn't necessarily return the
SMAP signature -- correctly so, since %ah should contain an error code
in this case.
To deal with some particularly broken BIOSes, we clear the entire e820
chain if the SMAP signature is missing in the middle, indicating a
plain insane e820 implementation. However, we need to make the test
for CF = 1 before the SMAP check.
This fixes at least one HP laptop (nc6400) for which none of the
memory-probing methods (e820, e801, 88) functioned fully according to
spec.

In arch/x86/boot/printf.c gets rid of unused tail of digits: const char
*digits = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; (we are using 0-9a-f
only)
Uses smaller/faster lowercasing (by ORing with 0x20)
if we know that we work on numbers/digits. Makes
strtoul smaller, and also we are getting rid of
static const char small_digits[] = "0123456789abcdefx";
static const char large_digits[] = "0123456789ABCDEFX";
since this works equally well:
static const char digits[16] = "0123456789ABCDEF";
Size savings:
$ size vmlinux.org vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename
877320 112252 90112 1079684 107984 vmlinux.org
877048 112252 90112 1079412 107874 vmlinux
It may be also a tiny bit faster because code has less
branches now, but I doubt it is measurable.
