Subject: [RFC] Multiboot protocol support in vmlinux?

Hello,

Have you considered (optionally) supporting multiboot in the future,
directly in the ELF vmlinux image (not in bzImage as it is now)?

What would be the pros and cons of the current implementation as
compared to multiboot-compatible ELF from your point of view?

Thanks,
Cristi M.
