Before I merge my branch, (I got derailed by a bug last weekend in our
GPT partitioning code I didn't realise I hadn't tried to fix yet), I
just realised that a change to the kernel args struct will make it
impossible to boot previous builds of Haiku with a new current haiku
loader. This applies to the bios loader as much as it does the uefi
loader, as they unfortunately need to stay in sync.
Or shall I make the effort to version the change? There does seem to
be support in the kernel args struct to support multiple versions,
although currently not used in practice.
Hmm, if I were to do this, then shouldn't we remove the size check for
the kernel args struct? Given that the size of the kernel args struct
is platform dependent, I don't know how else we'd handle the size
check. Thoughts?
