x86/boot: Introduce kernel_info.setup_type_max
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.
