edd: add default mode CONFIG_EDD_OFF=n, override with edd={on,off} ... Add a kernel parameter option to 'edd' to enable/disable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Services. CONFIG_EDD_OFF disables EDD while still compiling EDD into the kernel. Default behavior can be forced using 'edd=on' or 'edd=off' as a kernel parameter.

x86 setup: be more verbose when probing EDD ... On early boot, probing the Bios for EDD happens without any message. Enhanced Disk Drive Services (EDD) is a mechanism to match x86 BIOS device names (int13 device 80h) to Linux device names (e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/hda) There are buggy Bios out there having problems with EDD. This can be problems with the Bios itself or with addon cards, too. This patch is adds an informational message on early boot. CONFIG_EDD is not set with defconfig, but with allmodconfig (i.e. CONFIG_EDD=m) so the EDD probe may be active on early boot on many systems nowadays. I can tell, that the probe is active on SuSE distro and with that I have seen more than one system hanging endlessly with those "black screen with a blinking cursor in the the upper left" on installation, making it difficult for the end- user to find out, what`s the issue. For sure I have seen this on FujitsuSiemens PCs with i810 and with i815 chipset. This one also honours the "quiet" bootparam.
