Subject: [PATCH -mm] x86 boot : export boot_params via sysfs
This patch export the boot parameters via sysfs. This can be used for
debugging and kexec.
The files added are as follow:
/sys/kernel/boot_params/data : binary file for struct boot_params
/sys/kernel/boot_params/version : boot protocol version
This patch is based on 2.6.24-rc4-mm1 and has been tested on i386 and
x86_64 platoform.
Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@...el.com>
