Even though hw/i386/pc.c tries to compute a valid loading address for the
initrd, close to the top of RAM, this does not take into account other
data that is malloced into that memory by SeaBIOS.
Luckily we can easily look at the memory map to find out how much memory is
used up there. This patch places the initrd in the first four gigabytes,
below the first hole (as returned by INT 15h, AX=e801h).
Without this patch:
[ 0.000000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x07000000-0x07fdffff]
[ 0.000000] RAMDISK: [mem 0x0710a000-0x07fd7fff]
With this patch:
[ 0.000000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x07000000-0x07fdffff]
[ 0.000000] RAMDISK: [mem 0x07112000-0x07fdffff]
So linuxboot is able to use the 64k that were added as padding for
QEMU <= 2.1.

This resolves the build issue with building the ROMs on OpenBSD on x86 archs.
As of OpenBSD 5.3 the compiler builds PIE binaries by default and thus the
whole OS/packages and so forth. The ROMs need to have PIE disabled.
Check in configure whether the compiler supports the flags for disabling
PIE, and if it does then use them for building the ROMs. This fixes the
following buildbot failure:

The upper_mem field of the Multiboot information struct doesn't really
contain the RAM size - 1 MB like we used to calculate it, but only the
memory from 1 MB up to the first (upper) memory hole.
In order to correctly retrieve this information, the multiboot ROM now
looks at the mmap it creates anyway and tries to find the size of
contiguous usable memory from 1 MB.
Drop the multiboot.c definition of lower_mem and upper_mem because both
are queried at runtime now.

When the BIOS returns ebx = 0, the current entry is still valid and
needs to be included in the Multiboot memory map.
Fixing this meant that using bx as the entry index doesn't work any
more because it's 0 on the last entry (and it was SeaBIOS-specific
anyway), so the whole loop had to change a bit and should be more
generic as a result (ebx can be an arbitrary continuation number now,
and the entry size returned by the BIOS is used instead of hard-coding
20 bytes).

Commit dd4239d657 broke multiboot. It replaced the
instruction "rep insb (%dx), %es:(%edi)" by the binary output of
"addr32 rep insb (%dx), %es:(%di)".
Linuxboot calls the respective helper function in a code16 section. So the
original instruction was automatically translated to its "addr32" equivalent.
For multiboot, we're running in code32 so gcc didn't add the "addr32" which
breaks the instruction.
This patch splits that helper function in one which uses addr32 and one which
does not, so everyone's happy.
The good news is that nobody probably cared so far. The bundled multiboot.bin
binary was built before the change and is thus correct.
Please also put this patch into -stable.

The gdt address calculation in linuxboot.bin is broken in two ways: first
it loads %cs into %eax, but that instruction leaves the high bits of %eax
undefined and we did not clear them. Secondly, we completely ignore the

The vpath directive has two advantages over the VPATH variable:
1) it allows to skip searching of .o files; 2) the default semantics
are to append to the vpath, so there is no confusion between "VPATH=xyz"

handler.

This patch implements support for Multiboot on x86 for -kernel.
Multiboot is a "new" approach to get rid of different bootloaders, providing
a unified interface for the kernel. It supports command line options and
kernel modules.
The two probably best known projects using multiboot are Xen and GNU Hurd.
This implementation should be mostly feature-complete. It is missing VBE
extensions, but as no system uses them currently it does not really hurt.
To use multiboot, specify the kernel as -kernel option. Modules should be given
as -initrd options, seperated by a comma (,). -append also works.
Please bear in mind that grub also does gzip decompression, which qemu does
not do yet. To run existing images, please ungzip them first.
The guest multiboot loader code is implemented as option rom using int 19.
Parts of the work are based on efforts by Rene Rebe, who originally ported
my code to int 19.
