+Subject: x86/boot: Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header
+Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/ae7e1238e68f2a472a125673ab506d49158c1889
+
+Xen PVH guests receive the address of the RSDP table from Xen. In order
+to support booting a Xen PVH guest via Grub2 using the standard x86
+boot entry we need a way for Grub2 to pass the RSDP address to the
+kernel.
+
+For this purpose expand the struct setup_header to hold the physical
+address of the RSDP address. Being zero means it isn't specified and
+has to be located the legacy way (searching through low memory or
+EBDA).
+
+While documenting the new setup_header layout and protocol version
+2.14 add the missing documentation of protocol version 2.13.
+
+There are Grub2 versions in several distros with a downstream patch
+violating the boot protocol by writing past the end of setup_header.
+This requires another update of the boot protocol to enable the kernel
+to distinguish between a specified RSDP address and one filled with
+garbage by such a broken Grub2.
+
+From protocol 2.14 on Grub2 will write the version it is supporting
+(but never a higher value than found to be supported by the kernel)
+ored with 0x8000 to the version field of setup_header. This enables
+the kernel to know up to which field Grub2 has written information
+to. All fields after that are supposed to be clobbered.
