oookay. I'll await a formal patch with all the cc's, etc.
Also, if you email the patch inline (rather than as an attachment), then we can include comments inline as well.
As for the "upstream" version: if/when this patch is merged, it *is* the upstream version. The coreboot tree will need to drop the old version and migrate to the new.
IOW, make sure the coreboot folks are okay with what's being submitted as well!
Please be sure to carefully describe the background to the code within the final changelog. Lots of people won't even know what coreboot *is*. Spell this out completely and be sure to tell the kernel developers about the value of this patch to our users.
I'd second this. I'm minimally familiar with coreboot, but I have no idea what the purpose behind coreboot BIOS tables are.
