[coreboot] SeaBIOS question and cross compilation fix.

[Stefan Reinauer]

Hi, Kevin,

I am experimenting with v3 and better integration of SeaBIOS and
coreboot. For that, I am copying a SeaBIOS image to the FSEG during
coreboot's VGA init code. In addition I added another 32bit entry point
to SeaBIOS at 0xffc0 (Thus, living at 0xfffc0)

int copy_systembios(void)
{
        struct mem_file archive, result;
        int ret;
        init_archive(&archive);
        ret = find_file(&archive, "bios.bin", &result);
        if (ret) {
                printk(BIOS_WARNING, "No legacy bios found.\n");
                return -1;
        }
        process_file(&result, (void *)0xf0000);
        return 0;
}

void run_bios(struct device *dev, unsigned long addr)
{
        int i;
        void (*init_systembios)(void) = (void *)0xfffc0;
        copy_systembios();
        init_systembios();
        real_mode_switch_call_vga((dev->bus->secondary << 8) |
dev->path.pci.devfn);
}

Now, the entry point looks like this:

And _init looks like this (simplified):

void VISIBLE32
_init()
{
    outb('@', 0x3f8);
}

Unfortunately, this does not seem to work. The machine jumps somewhere
else and will triple fault eventually.

The outb to serial console in the assembler entry point work fine. If I
comment out the call to _code32__init, the function also returns nicely.
(printing "DE" on the way. But as soon as I leave the call in, seabios
crashes after printing "D" It does not even print the @.

Any hints?

Also, find attached a patch to allow cross compilation of SeaBIOS and
make it work with systems where /bin/echo does not know the option -e
