No, bootflag is never used and could / should be removed. Passing gd as parameter makes no sense, thoug, as it's global data and we reserve a register to store it's address, so it can always be used with minimal overhead. > One further thought, why not init the reserved register in assembly and > remove the gd relevant code in C? But that bears some risk if the register > is changed and the assembly is forgotten to adapt.. We try to do as much as pssible in C, and only what really cannot be avoided in assembly.
