This patch series introduces the support for new s390x 'loadparm' feature. The 'loadparm' can be used to select the boot entry to boot from, for a boot device.
Why do we need / want any of this when we already have bootindex=NN support. Inventing a S390-only way to select the boot device order is pretty horrible IMHO

Hi Daniel, The bootindex is used to select a boot device, the loadparm used to select a boot entry within that boot device. Loadparm is not a way to select boot device order. Bootindex is still used to select the boot device order. Hope this clears it up. Thanks Farhan
