From 67a6af7ad1d161dbc9c139e868d5549e632923f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arvind Sankar Date: Sun, 2 Feb 2020 12:13:47 -0500 Subject: x86/boot: Remove KEEP_SEGMENTS support Commit a24e785111a3 ("i386: paravirt boot sequence") added this flag for use by paravirtualized environments such as Xen. However, Xen never made use of this flag [1], and it was only ever used by lguest [2]. Commit ecda85e70277 ("x86/lguest: Remove lguest support") removed lguest, so KEEP_SEGMENTS has lost its last user.
