fn load<F, M: GuestMemory>( guest_mem: &M, kernel_offset: Option<GuestAddress>, kernel_image: &mut F, highmem_start_address: Option<GuestAddress> ) -> Result<KernelLoaderResult>where F: Read + Seek,

How to load a specific kernel image format into the guest memory.

Arguments
  • guest_mem: GuestMemory to load the kernel in.
  • kernel_offset: Usage varies between implementations.
  • kernel_image: Kernel image to be loaded.
  • highmem_start_address: Address where high memory starts.
