This provides a future proof interface for extending the bootinfo region with additional kinds of optional architecture and platform specific information. The basic idea is to report the size of a region directly following the bootinfo frame, which is made up of a series of 'chunks'. Each chunk has an identifier (describing what it is) and a length, allowing unknown chunks to be skipped in favor of examining the remaining of the chunks. |
