sure to consider the case where the linked list already contains
entries.
+ 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.
