[PATCH RFC 0/3] Ordered list of autoboot options

[Jeremy Kerr]

Hi Sam,

Just following up on our discussion earlier. I've since re-done my ipmi
support changes, which has changed the base code for this. Sorry!

THe main point there is that the boot_priority array is back; so I think
these patches will be a matter of unifying that array with your
autoboot_option structure. Then, allowing the enum-based
autoboot_options will be the major change in your series, I think?

Also, a BOOT_DEVICE_ANY boot_type would be good as a catch-all.

We have the IPMI priorities sorted there, so that shouldn't be an issue now.

Cheers,


Jeremy
