Cover letter [PATCH -mm 0/4] x86_64 boot: Add linked listof struct setup_data to boot protocol

This patchset adds the linked list of struct setup_data to boot protocol. This is needed by EDD information and some SGI machine with E820 entry number > 128.

Now, only the x86_64 is supported. The i386 can be supported after early reservation mechanism for x86 is available.

This patchset is based on 2.6.25-rc5-mm1 and has been tested on Intel x86_64 machine.

Best Regards,
Huang Ying
