[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-xen-4.5 v4 00/18] xen: Break multiboot (v1) dependency and add multiboot2 support

[Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

This patch series breaks multiboot (v1) protocol dependency and adds
multiboot2 support. It lays down the foundation for EFI + GRUB2 + Xen
development. Detailed description of ideas and thoughts you will
find in commit message for every patch. If something is not obvious
please drop me a line.

I took into account all suggestions sent to me up until now.

ARM build has been tested. However, I am not able to test generated
binaries because I do not have a required hardware under my feet.
Could you do some tests guys?

This is my last attempt to have this series in 4.5. If it will be not
accepted for 4.5 I will continue multiboot2 + EFI development on the
base of this patch series. Now I am almost sure that we are going in
right direction. I hope that I will be able to post multiboot2 + EFI
patches in about 1 month.

Daniel
