Revision 3c4aff6b9a183b4f24eb7b8dd6c8a92cdba3bc75 authored by Peter Jones on 06 March 2013, 18:00:23 UTC, committed by H. Peter Anvin on 07 March 2013, 04:34:43 UTC 
x86, doc: Be explicit about what the x86 struct boot_params requires
 
If the sentinel triggers, we do not want the boot loader authors to
just poke it and make the error go away, we want them to actually fix
the problem.

This should help avoid making the incorrect change in non-compliant
bootloaders.

[ hpa: dropped the Documentation/x86/boot.txt hunk pending
  clarifications ]
