2011-08-30DocBook/drm: The word `so-called'; I do not think it connotes what you think ↵Michael Witten1-1/+1
it connotes From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: So-called \So"-called`\, a. So named; called by such a name (but perhaps called thus with doubtful propriety). From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]: so-called adj : doubtful or suspect; "these so-called experts are no help" [syn: {alleged(a)}, {supposed}] My strong conviction is that widespread use of 'so gennant' or 'sogennant' in German has led to the creeping misuse of 'so-called' in English (especially through technical writings). In English, it would be better to use: what is called or a better translation of 'so gennant': so named Signed-off-by: Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com>

2011-08-15lguest: allow booting guest with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=yRusty Russell1-0/+3
The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE code tries to align the unpack destination to the value of 'kernel_alignment' in the setup_hdr. If that's 0, it tries to unpack to address 0, which in fact causes the gunzip code to call 'error("Out of memory while allocating output buffer")'. The bootloader (ie. the lguest Launcher in this case) should be doing setting this field; the normal bzImage is 16M, we can use the same.
