Subject: mboot: handle ELF Multiboot kernel where paddr != vaddr
X-Git-Tag: syslinux-3.80~4
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=de1ecabd369a2105f7822f4f8be10fb1937b9f86;p=profile%2Fivi%2Fsyslinux.git

mboot: handle ELF Multiboot kernel where paddr != vaddr

The way Grub handles ELF Multiboot kernels where paddr != vaddr is to
load at the paddr, but to also adjust the entry point (e_entry) so
that the previous vaddr becomes a paddr.  Since the Multiboot spec is
pretty much "Grub wins", follow this behavior.
