Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2011 10:32:44 -0400 From: Matthew Garrett <mjg@...hat.com> To: x86@...nel.org Cc: hpa@...or.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, pjones@...hat.com, Matthew Garrett <mjg@...hat.com> Subject: [PATCH] x86: CONFIG_EFI should select CONFIG_RELOCATABLE EFI doesn't provide any guarantees that any given address will be free, so the bootloader must have the freedom to position the kernel appropriately. Make CONFIG_EFI select CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in order to ensure that this constraint is satisfiable.
