Cover letter [PATCH 0/5] Boot protocol changes

Hi all,

Jeremy had some boot changes for bzImages, but buried in there was an
update to the boot protocol to support Xen and lguest (and kvm-lite). I've copied those fairly simple patches, and if HPA is happy I'd like to push them for 2.6.24 (after correcting for the Great Arch Merge of course).

Thanks,
Rusty.
