[PATCH v6 07/44] x86/boot: move headroom to boot modules
Posted by Daniel P. Smith 1 month, 1 week ago
The purpose of struct boot_module is to encapsulate the state of boot module as
it is processed by Xen. Locating boot module state struct boot_module reduces
the number of global variables as well as the number of state variables that
must be passed around. It also lays the groundwork for hyperlaunch mult-domain
construction, where multiple instances of state variables like headroom will be
needed.

Changes since v5:
- reword and expand comment on headroom
- consolidated declaration and assignment

Blank line here.

I know it falls back out later, but it's very important for legibility
to be able to tell at a glance which comment belongs to which item.
