[PATCH] x86: reserve a boot-loader ID number for Xen
Claim an ID number for Xen in the LOADER_TYPE field. Also, keep the table in zero-page.txt consistent with boot.txt. [hpa says: 6 was skipped because I couldn't rule out that it hadn't been unofficially used. It seemed easier to skip it for now.] Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com> Acked-by: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
