c61a56f208 OvmfPkg: LoadLinuxLib: Zero kernel parameters instead of passing garbage
We're supposed to zero everything in the kernel bootparams that we don't
explicitly initialise, other than the setup_header from 0x1f1 onwards
for a precisely defined length, which is copied from the bzImage.

We're *not* supposed to just pass the garbage that we happened to find
in the bzImage file surrounding the setup_header.

38851e781d OvmfPkg: LoadLinuxLib: Fix check for relocatable kernel
Boot protocol 2.05 just means that the relocatable_kernel field is present
in the header. We should actually check that it's *set*.

61a114ba46 OvmfPkg: LoadLinuxLib: Fix kernel entry for 64-bit OVMF
We currently just jump to offset 0x200 in the kernel image, in 64-bit
mode. This is completely broken. If it's a 32-bit kernel, we'll be
jumping into the compressed data payload.

If it's a 64-bit kernel, it'll work... but the 0x200 offset is
explicitly marked as 'may change in the future', has already changed
from 0x100 to 0x200 in the past with no fanfare, and bootloaders are
instructed that they should look at the ELF header to find the offset.
So although it does actually work today, it's still broken in the
"someone needs to whipped for doing it this way" sense of the word.

In fact, the same bug exists in other bootloaders so the 0x200 offset
probably *is* now set in stone. But still it's only valid to use it if
we *know* it's a 64-bit kernel. And we don't. There *is* no ELF header
that we can look at when we're booting a bzImage, and we can't rely on
it having a PE/COFF header either.

The 32-bit entry point is always guaranteed to work, and we need to
support it anyway. So let's just *always* use it, in 32-bit mode, and
then we don't have to make up some horrible heuristics for detecting
32-bit vs. 64-bit kernels.
