[v2] Documentation: x86: boot: reserve type_of_loader=13 for barebox

[PATCH v2] Documentation: x86: boot: reserve type_of_loader=13 for barebox

Posted by Ahmad Fatoum 3 years, 6 months ago

barebox[1], a bootloader for mostly ARM and MIPS embedded systems,
can also be built as EFI payload for x86[2] to provide redundant
power-fail safe, watchdog-supervised boot up.

Since its v2015.09.0 release, it has been booting Linux on x86 with
type_of_loader=0xff[3]. Reserve 13, the next free id, so that can be
used instead in the future.

Thanks for applying. In case the branch is not non-rebaseable:

s/Peserve/Reserve/ in the commit message title.

Cheers,
