I'll wait on your patches to do my next bit of work on alix1c :-)
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!
You may also need my "v3: fix SHARED macros in the non-_MAINOBJECT case" patch if you are calling stage1 functions (printk, post_code, ...) from any file linked into initram which has _MAINOBJECT not set. Besides that, there is a compiler bug in gcc 4.2.1 (possibly others) which will cause a crash on any call to stage1 functions under the above conditions. I think I can sort of workaround that bug with advanced linker trickery, but I'd rather resolve that bug in a clean way.
We're on our way!
Thanks, r524.
