With Uwe's help, we have relicensed libpayload as BSD, and we are now ready to commit it to the SVN. Last step is the customary list review. Please review quickly so we can get this into the tree soon with enough time to hack on it before the summit.
What follows are two patches - the first is the bulk of the code that is entirely from AMD, and the second is the code that I pulled in from external places. There will be a third patch from Uwe for the code that he pulled in from external places himself.
Thanks, Jordan
