From c61a56f208a6b3ca49b7542a81e75c141a198d6f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jljusten Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2013 06:49:45 +0000 Subject: OvmfPkg: LoadLinuxLib: Zero kernel parameters instead of passing garbage We're supposed to zero everything in the kernel bootparams that we don't explicitly initialise, other than the setup_header from 0x1f1 onwards for a precisely defined length, which is copied from the bzImage. We're *not* supposed to just pass the garbage that we happened to find in the bzImage file surrounding the setup_header.
