Victor Sun 52f26cba8a hv: a few fixes for multiboot2 boot
- need to specify the load_addr in the multiboot2 address tag. GRUB needs
  it to correctly calculate the ACRN binary's load size if load_end_addr is
  a non-zero value.

- multiboot2 can be enabled if hypervisor relocation is disabled.

- print the name of the boot loader. This might be helpful if the boot
  loader, e.g. GRUB, inludes its version in the name string.

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
