[Xen-devel] [RFC PATCH 2/7] x86/boot: Remove gratuitous call back into low-memory code

[David Woodhouse <dwmw2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

We appear to have implemented a memcpy() in the low-memory trampoline
which we then call into from __start_xen(), for no adequately defined
reason.

Kill it with fire.
