[PATCH v2 00/16] x86: zboot: Enhance the 'zboot' command

This command is currently monolithic and does not support scripts which
want to adjust the boot process. This series updates it to be more like
'bootm', in that it has sub-commands for each stage of the boot. This
allows some stages to be adjusted or skipped.

It also adds a way to dump out the setup block.

With these changes it is possible to boot an x86 Chrome OS image from a
script.

Changes in v2:
- Fix comment about argv[0] in do_zboot_parent()
- Add a comment explaining the logic for a specified setup-base address

Simon Glass (16):
  x86: Update the bootparam header
  x86: zimage: Use a state struct to hold the state
  x86: zimage: Avoid using #ifdef
  x86: zboot: Move kernel-version code into a function
  x86: zboot: Correct image type
  x86: zimage: Disable interrupts just before booting
