12 * In a nutshell, arch/{i386,x86_64}/boot/setup.S populates a scratch
13 * table in the boot_params that contains a list of BIOS-enumerated
15 * In arch/{i386,x86_64}/kernel/setup.c, this information is
16 * transferred into the edd structure, and in drivers/firmware/edd.c, that
17 * information is used to identify BIOS boot disk. The code in setup.S
18 * is very sensitive to the size of these structures.
