[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 2/3] x86/boot: Introduce the kernel_info.setup_type_max

[Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This field contains maximal allowed type for setup_data.

Do not bump setup_header version in arch/x86/boot/header.S because it
will be followed by additional changes coming into the Linux/x86 boot
protocol.
