commit 0d29d467883c52c2ebf3a7db467bd8a2cddac3e2 Author: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli GNUtoo@no-log.org Date: Fri Jun 21 23:32:19 2013 +0200
Add a new and safer bootblock implementation.
The drawback is that it requires cooperation from something that is run after coreboot (like the OS or the payload).
To understand how to use it, refer to the Kconfig help of that option.
Thanks a lot to kmalkki on #coreboot Freenode IRC channel for pointers on how to simplify the implementation.
