[Etherboot-developers] Draft 1 of my ELF bootloader specification

[<ebi...@ln...>]

I have just completed writing up the major components of what I believe
is a solid specification for booting using the ELF format.

The parameter formant is slightly incopatible with what I have
currently running with LinuxBIOS.  This is for two reasons.  The first
is I confused BIOS parameter tables with bootloader paramters in my first
implementation.  And secondly because the implementation I currently have
changes type sizes when switching architectures a feature I do not believe
is robust during conversions between 32 bit and 64bit cpus.

Please review this and give me feedback.

While I let this sit for a little while I am going to be working on
specifications for LinuxBIOS specific tables that can be found
by scanning memory, instead of needing to be passed to the application.
