Pull x86 boot updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes were:

   - Extend the boot protocol to allow future extensions without hitting
     the setup_header size limit.

   - Add quirk to devicetree systems to disable the RTC unless it's
     listed as a supported device.

   - Fix ld.lld linker pedantry"

+  The setup_data is a bit awkward to use for extremely large data objects,
+  both because the setup_data header has to be adjacent to the data object
+  and because it has a 32-bit length field. However, it is important that
+  intermediate stages of the boot process have a way to identify which
+  chunks of memory are occupied by kernel data.
+
+  Thus setup_indirect struct and SETUP_INDIRECT type were introduced in
+  protocol 2.15.
+
+  struct setup_indirect {
+    __u32 type;
+    __u32 reserved;  /* Reserved, must be set to zero. */
+    __u64 len;
+    __u64 addr;
+  };
+
+  The type member is a SETUP_INDIRECT | SETUP_* type. However, it cannot be
+  SETUP_INDIRECT itself since making the setup_indirect a tree structure
+  could require a lot of stack space in something that needs to parse it
+  and stack space can be limited in boot contexts.
+
+  Let's give an example how to point to SETUP_E820_EXT data using setup_indirect.
+  In this case setup_data and setup_indirect will look like this:
+
+  struct setup_data {
+    __u64 next = 0 or <addr_of_next_setup_data_struct>;
+    __u32 type = SETUP_INDIRECT;
+    __u32 len = sizeof(setup_data);
+    __u8 data[sizeof(setup_indirect)] = struct setup_indirect {
+      __u32 type = SETUP_INDIRECT | SETUP_E820_EXT;
+      __u32 reserved = 0;
+      __u64 len = <len_of_SETUP_E820_EXT_data>;
+      __u64 addr = <addr_of_SETUP_E820_EXT_data>;
+    }
+  }
+
+.. note::
+     SETUP_INDIRECT | SETUP_NONE objects cannot be properly distinguished
+     from SETUP_INDIRECT itself. So, this kind of objects cannot be provided
+     by the bootloaders.

+============	==================
+Field name:	kernel_info_offset
+Type:		read
+Offset/size:	0x268/4
+Protocol:	2.15+
+============	==================
+
+  This field is the offset from the beginning of the kernel image to the
+  kernel_info. The kernel_info structure is embedded in the Linux image
+  in the uncompressed protected mode region.
+
+
+The kernel_info
+===============
+
+The relationships between the headers are analogous to the various data
+sections:
+
+  setup_header = .data
+  boot_params/setup_data = .bss
+
+What is missing from the above list? That's right:
+
+  kernel_info = .rodata
+
+We have been (ab)using .data for things that could go into .rodata or .bss for
+a long time, for lack of alternatives and -- especially early on -- inertia.
+Also, the BIOS stub is responsible for creating boot_params, so it isn't
+available to a BIOS-based loader (setup_data is, though).
+
+setup_header is permanently limited to 144 bytes due to the reach of the
+2-byte jump field, which doubles as a length field for the structure, combined
+with the size of the "hole" in struct boot_params that a protected-mode loader
+or the BIOS stub has to copy it into. It is currently 119 bytes long, which
+leaves us with 25 very precious bytes. This isn't something that can be fixed
+without revising the boot protocol entirely, breaking backwards compatibility.
+
+boot_params proper is limited to 4096 bytes, but can be arbitrarily extended
+by adding setup_data entries. It cannot be used to communicate properties of
+the kernel image, because it is .bss and has no image-provided content.
+
+kernel_info solves this by providing an extensible place for information about
+the kernel image. It is readonly, because the kernel cannot rely on a
+bootloader copying its contents anywhere, but that is OK; if it becomes
+necessary it can still contain data items that an enabled bootloader would be
+expected to copy into a setup_data chunk.
+
+All kernel_info data should be part of this structure. Fixed size data have to
+be put before kernel_info_var_len_data label. Variable size data have to be put
+after kernel_info_var_len_data label. Each chunk of variable size data has to
+be prefixed with header/magic and its size, e.g.:
+
+  kernel_info:
+          .ascii  "LToP"          /* Header, Linux top (structure). */
+          .long   kernel_info_var_len_data - kernel_info
+          .long   kernel_info_end - kernel_info
+          .long   0x01234567      /* Some fixed size data for the bootloaders. */
+  kernel_info_var_len_data:
+  example_struct:                 /* Some variable size data for the bootloaders. */
+          .ascii  "0123"          /* Header/Magic. */
+          .long   example_struct_end - example_struct
+          .ascii  "Struct"
+          .long   0x89012345
+  example_struct_end:
+  example_strings:                /* Some variable size data for the bootloaders. */
+          .ascii  "ABCD"          /* Header/Magic. */
+          .long   example_strings_end - example_strings
+          .asciz  "String_0"
+          .asciz  "String_1"
+  example_strings_end:
+  kernel_info_end:
+
+This way the kernel_info is self-contained blob.
+
+.. note::
+     Each variable size data header/magic can be any 4-character string,
+     without \0 at the end of the string, which does not collide with
+     existing variable length data headers/magics.
