+### `device_t` is no more +coreboot used to have a data type, `device_t` that changed shape depending on +whether it is compiled for romstage (with limited memory) or ramstage (with +unlimited memory as far as coreboot is concerned). It's an old relic from the +time when romstage wasn't operated in Cache-As-RAM mode, but compiled with +our romcc compiler. + +That data type is now gone.
