[syslinux] [PATCH][git-pull] Reminders

[Gene Cumm]

Here's some reminders for various branches that are pending.  All
branches are at my public repo at
git://git.zytor.com/users/genec/syslinux.git (
http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/genec/syslinux.git;a=summary )

HPA, I'd appreciate a response in the direction of a status like on
hold, under review, denied or to be completed soon.


Branch win64-mingw32-ubuntu-for-hpa adds more prefixes in order to
compile win64/syslinux64.exe as Debian (and Ubuntu) chose to use a
prefix not in the list.  The list is also expanded to complete the
permutations.

Branch handoff_mbr_for_hpa introduced a new MBR/VBR to show the
handoff parameters.  HPA: Should this be moved to diag/ (I'm putting
my geometry display code in a subdirectory there; still prepping for a
branch)?

Branch core-diskstart-chkerr-for-hpa fixes DS in the (future)
situation that copying ldlinux.sys results in DS not being 0.  Segment
0 contains the error message string we need in case of failure and DS
!=0 would prevent this error message from properly displaying.

Branch diskboot-comment-for-hpa adds some comments to diskboot that I
think will be handy for anyone re-using diskboot.inc.

Branch rosh_for_hpa fixes a bug in rosh's ls that could hang the PC.
I found that using 'ls -l' with a directory option in certain manners
caused a failure as an error check was incorrect.

Branch memdisk-maxmem-for-hpa implements the 'mem=' parameter in
MEMDISK by marking all areas that currently available above a certain
address as reserved.  This resolved a user issue with a particular old
application that failed when too much memory was available.

Branch gpxelinux-kpxe-for-hpa adds a new target of gpxelinuxk.0 which
uses undionly.kpxe rather than undionly.kkpxe with an accompanying new
script.

Branch memdiskdbg-for-sha0 expands on Shao Miller's additional disk
probe checks and disk probe debugging display.  This resolved an issue
with a particular line of laptops whose output was mildly contrary to
expected output.  This should hopefully contain enough data in the
display to debug any additional disk probe issues if any arise.  I'm
currently waiting on Shao's review but would welcome others.
