The patch seems to be OK. Please wait for another ack before commit, though.
Stefan?
This patch brings us back to where you can choose not to preparse the
ELF.
hmm, I just realized if we have this, we're going to have to repair the coreboot elf parser ... it doesn't do bss correctly.
Maybe I should make it so you have to be in expert mode to not parse the ELF.
Add a dependency on BROKEN and stick a FIXME in the coreboot ELF parser. Whoever wants to use the code is free to fix it.
How about the middle ground for now and commit this patch, which defaults to parsing the ELF, since that works. Someone who knows where the ELF parser is broken should probably insert the FIXME or fix it.
The only difference between this version and the last is that PARSE_PAYLOAD_ELF defaults to y, and doesn't depend on EXPERT.
