Subject: [PATCH v7u1 24/31] x86, boot: Not need to check setup_header version for setup_data

That is for bootloader.

setup_data is in setup_header, and all bootloader is copying that
for bzImage. So for old bootloader should keep that as 0.

kexec till now for elf image, will set setup_data to 0.
