[LinuxBIOS] r524 - LinuxBIOSv3/arch/x86

Author: hailfinger
Date: 2007-11-27 15:44:54 +0100 (Tue, 27 Nov 2007)
New Revision: 524

Modified:
   LinuxBIOSv3/arch/x86/Makefile
   LinuxBIOSv3/arch/x86/stage1.c
Log:
Convert stage2 handling from binary blob to multi-segment LAR which is
created by parsing the ELF file linuxbios.stage2.o. That way, we avoid
manual specification of the entry point for stage2 code. A few LAR
functions are now unused and can be removed in a following cleanup
session.
Another suggested cleanup would be factoring out a load_all_segments
function, resulting in less code duplication.

Ron says:
> This is great. We killed the blob. In the movie, it was impossible.
> FYI, the new approach works on real hardware, I am getting nice printk
> messages from stage1!
