commit f2462af4c374f16da3fbd7bc630652623acf260e Author: Stefan Reinauer reinauer@chromium.org Date: Thu Oct 6 16:47:51 2011 -0700
Don't run any option roms stored outside of the system flash
Right now coreboot only executes vga option roms. However, this is not good enough. For security reasons we want to execute only option roms stored in our RO CBFS.
This patch adds a new option to disable execution of arbitrary option ROMs and enables it for all our boards.
