This is another attempt at removing ELF support from v3. I'll try to do a better job of explaining and justifying this time. The patch should be followed by: svn rm include/elf_boot.h svn rm include/elf.h svn rm include/arch/x86/arch/elf.h svn rm lib/elfboot.c svn rm arch/x86/archelfboot.c
Another follow-on would be to fix lar so it never puts an ELF into the lar without parsing it.
Here are my reasons: 1. It wasn't being used anyway. Unless you used lar to load the elf in, the Makefile always parsed the elf with -e 2. It duplicated code. There is no reason for v3 to understand ELF when lar parses it. 3. It saves space.
Here's the last little bit of stage0.init.map
Without the patch:
ffffcc8c T rawpnp_write_config ffffcca8 T rawpnp_set_logical_device ffffcccb T rawpnp_set_iobase ffffccf4 T rawpnp_set_enable ffffcd19 T rawpnp_enter_ext_func_mode ffffcd20 T rawpnp_exit_ext_func_mode ffffd51f t __FUNCTION__.1410 ffffd540 t console_test.1503 ffffd57b T _estage0_1 fffffff0 A _ROMTOP fffffff0 T _resetjump
With the patch:
ffffc885 T rawpnp_enter_ext_func_mode ffffc88c T rawpnp_exit_ext_func_mode ffffce20 t console_test.1503 ffffce5b T _estage0_1 fffffff0 A _ROMTOP fffffff0 T _resetjump
I'm calculating the difference by subtracting the locations of _estage0_1 fffd57b - fffce5b = 0x720 = 1824 bytes
Not earth-shattering, but significant.
