Hi,
Attached is an update to Patrick's filo patch, with a small patch to libpayload too.
Probably the best way to do this would be for you to Ack Patrick's patch, then send your small patch to the list.
In addition to basic CBFS file system support, which should allow configfile and linux boot from CBFS, I have also added initial SELF boot support that allows simple libpayload based payloads to be launched from filo.
The libpayload patch looks pretty good, but it looks like all of the changes could have been made in coreboot_tables.h and coreboot.c or options.c.
I know a lot of you guys think that this is all a bit of a waste of time / broken way of doing things, but for me it does now mean that I have the full equivalent functionality of SeaBIOS with USB keyboard support all for only the cost of a compressed filo image.
It's great to have more than one way to skin the proverbial cat. I think it's close.
Thanks, Myles
