From 5e47c478b0b69bc9bc3ba544e4b1ca3268f98fef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 10:55:33 -0700 Subject: x86: remove zImage support Impact: obsolete feature removal The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long time. It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that anyone ever uses it. Furthermore, although it is still supported by most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and not having even noticed. Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any meaning. LKML-Reference: <49B703D4.1000008@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: H.
