Yes. ADLO.
OK, so we'll have to take care about that.
Which settings does ADLO require/expect?
so far ADLO has to do it all on its own, since it has to change those settings during its runtime.
Do we have or want a general LinuxBIOS-wide policy as to how to set the PAM registers? Or is this chipset-/mainboard-specific?
We need an interface to ADLO, preferably an LB table entry describing how ADLO can change the settings.
Or we make 0xf0000-0xfffff writable and hope nobody will mess with it. No idea whether that works reliably
IMO we should make sure that ADLO can be used on _all_ boards. It's no problem to have a config option and a reasonable default, but there should definately be a possibility for the "end user" to easily use ADLO without having to touch the source code.
Yes. The problem with ADLO seems to be it is not even capable of booting Windows 2000 in Qemu+LBv2 yet. So progress is sneaking
