Merge branch 'x86-kbuild-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'x86-kbuild-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (46 commits) x86, boot: add new generated files to the appropriate .gitignore files x86, boot: correct the calculation of ZO_INIT_SIZE x86-64: align __PHYSICAL_START, remove __KERNEL_ALIGN x86, boot: correct sanity checks in boot/compressed/misc.c x86: add extension fields for bootloader type and version x86, defconfig: update kernel position parameters x86, defconfig: update to current, no material changes x86: make CONFIG_RELOCATABLE the default x86: default CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN to 16 MB x86: document new bzImage fields x86, boot: make kernel_alignment adjustable; new bzImage fields x86, boot: remove dead code from boot/compressed/head_*.S x86, boot: use LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR on 64 bits x86, boot: make symbols from the main vmlinux available x86, boot: determine compressed code offset at compile time x86, boot: use appropriate rep string for move and clear x86, boot: zero EFLAGS on 32 bits x86, boot: set up the decompression stack as early as possible x86, boot: straighten out ranges to copy/zero in compressed/head*.S x86, boot: stylistic cleanups for boot/compressed/head_64.S ... Fixed trivial conflict in arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig manually
