From 34cda14c031aa9f300f6d70ff66ee7608a51270b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: H. Peter Anvin Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:59:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86, boot: align the .bss section in the decompressor Aligning the .bss section makes it trivially faster, and makes using larger transfers for the clear slightly easier.
