2012-05-29fix multiboot loading if load_end_addr == 0Scott Moser
The previous multiboot load code did not treat the case where load_end_addr was 0 specially. The multiboot specification says the following: * load_end_addr Contains the physical address of the end of the data segment. (load_end_addr - load_addr) specifies how much data to load. This implies that the text and data segments must be consecutive in the OS image; this is true for existing a.out executable formats. If this field is zero, the boot loader assumes that the text and data segments occupy the whole OS image file.

2011-07-29multiboot: Fix bss segment supportGöran Weinholt
Multiboot images can specify a bss segment. The boot loader must clear the memory of the bss and ensure that no modules or structures are allocated inside it. Several fields are provided in the Multiboot header that were previously not used properly. The header is now used to determine how much data should be read from the image and how much memory should be reserved to the bss segment.

2011-06-03multiboot: set boot_device to first partitionArun Thomas
The multiboot info struct's 'boot_device' field has 'part1' set to 0x01, which maps to the second primary partition. To specify the first primary partition, 'part1' should be set to 0x00, since partition numbers start from zero according to the multiboot spec.

2010-03-16load_elf: replace the address addend by a translation functionAurelien Jarno
A few machines need to translate the ELF header addresses into physical addresses. Currently the only possibility is to add a value to the addresses. This patch replaces the addend argument by and a translation function and an opaque passed to the function. A NULL function does not translate the address. The patch also convert all machines that have an addend, simplify the PowerPC kernel loading and fix the MIPS kernel loading using this new feature. Other machines may benefit from this feature.
