Merge branch 'x86-boot-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 bootup changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Deal with bootloaders which fail to initialize unknown fields in
  boot_params to zero, by sanitizing boot params passed in.

  This unbreaks versions of kexec-utils.  Other bootloaders do not
  appear to show sensitivity to this change, but it's a possibility for
  breakage nevertheless."
