[PATCH v5 01/21] x86, KASLR: Remove unneeded boot_params argument

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Apr 14 2016 - 18:34:20 EST


From: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@xxxxxxxxxx>

Since the boot_params can be found using the real_mode global variable,
there is no need to pass around a pointer to it. This slightly simplifies
the choose_kernel_location function and its callers.
