So, what made OLPC switch from LinuxBIOS to OFW, and why can't the two projects be merged?
Mitch wrote a fast path resume from RAM for the OLPC Geode hardware. Once you've done that, you find that you've done just about everything to initialize the hardware in the first place; so that code is now used both at boot time and at suspend from RAM time.
I suppose this was done by relying on the ACPI tables?
And, wouldn't it make sense for LinuxBIOS and OFW to join forces?
Thanks!
