Revert "[PATCH] paravirt: Add startup infrastructure for paravirtualization"
This reverts commit c9ccf30d77f04064fe5436027ab9d2230c7cdd94. Entering the kernel at startup_32 without passing our real mode data in %esi, and without guaranteeing that physical and virtual addresses are identity mapped makes head.S impossible to maintain. The only user of this infrastructure is lguest which is not merged so nothing we currently support will break by removing this over designed nightmare, and only the pending lguest patches will be affected. The pending Xen patches have a different entry point that they use. We are currently discussing what Xen and lguest need to do to boot the kernel in a more normal fashion so using startup_32 in this weird manner is clearly not their long term direction. So let's remove this code in head.S before it causes brain damage to people trying to maintain head.S Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Zachary Amsden <zach@vmware.com> CC: H.
