[PATCH v6 09/44] x86/boot: introduce boot module types
Posted by Daniel P. Smith 1 month ago
This commit introduces module types of xen, kernel, and ramdisk to allow boot
module detect code to tag the purpose of a boot module. This reduces the need
for hard coded order assumptions and global variables to be used by consumers
of boot modules, such as domain construction.

Changes since v5:
- added guard around initrd type assignment
- removed a missed rebase artifact
