* Patch contribution from Scott Davilla <davilla@4pi.com>
when x is zero for the first call to add_memory_region, e820_map[-1]
above the e820_map[0] location that should have been zeroed by the
bootloader, the code should not access outside the bounds of
structures.
+
2008-01-03 Jason Fleischli <jason.fleischli@hp.com>
* initrd.c -- Let the allocator decide where to grab the memory from
the efi memory map. Current start_addr=image->start_addr forces the
the image->start_addr resulting in an elilo hang. Leaving start_addr
NULL at initialization forces alloc_pages to get a memory region
sufficient for the size of the initrd image.

2007-12-19 Jason Fleischli <jason.fleischli@hp.com>
* bumping version string to 3.8
+
2007-12-19 Jason Fleischli <jason.fleischli@hp.com>

2005-12-01 Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@hp.com>
* Applied patch from Fred Yang <fred.yang@intel.com> to support the
vmm= boot option. This option specifies the kernel image for a
image will be uncompressed into memory before it is provided to the
hypervisor. Any combination of compressed and uncompressed images
can be used for the image and vmm options.
+
2005-09-15 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
* Applied patch from Tristan Gingold to add dcache flush and sync with
icache to gzip and plain loaders. This ommision was just noticed now
due to the much larger caches in Montecito, and the smaller size of
Xen (as compared to the linux kernel).
