the following patch was just integrated into master: commit ccd300b4b402167bd1f390ba13378593f1962712 Author: Andrey Petrov andrey.petrov@intel.com Date: Sun Feb 28 22:04:51 2016 -0800
arch/x86: Allow soc/chipset to set linking address
Until recently x86 romstage used to be linked at some default address. The address itself is not meaningful because the code was normally relocated at address calculated during insertion in CBFS. Since some newer SoC run romstage at CAR it became useful to link romstage code at some address in CAR and avoid relocation during build/run time altogether.
