    x86: Add device tree support · da6b737b
    Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 提交于
    This patch adds minimal support for device tree on x86. The device
    tree blob is passed to the kernel via setup_data which requires at
    least boot protocol 2.09.
    
    Memory size, restricted memory regions, boot arguments are gathered
    the traditional way so things like cmd_line are just here to let the
    code compile.
    
    The current plan is use the device tree as an extension and to gather
    information which can not be enumerated and would have to be hardcoded
    otherwise. This includes things like 
       - which devices are on this I2C/SPI bus?
       - how are the interrupts wired to IO APIC?
       - where could my hpet be?
