      Documentation/i386/boot.txt: update and correct · de372ecd
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      In the process of rewriting the x86 setup code, I found a number of
      inaccuracies and outdated recommendations in the boot protocol
      documentation.  Revamp to make it more up to date.
      
      In particular, the common use of the heap actually requires (slightly)
      more than 4K of heap plus stack, which is the recommended amount in
      the document; currently the code compensates by being smaller than
      specified, but we can't assume that will be true forever.  Thus,
      recommend that if we have a modern bzImage kernel, that the bootloader
      maximizes the available space.
