ASUS A8V-E Deluxe now supported

[Uwe Hermann]

Hi,

I'm happy to announce that the ASUS A8V-E Deluxe board works pretty well
in coreboot v2 already. I haven't even touched more than 1 (in words: one)
lines of code. This is all thanks to Rudolf Marek's great work on the
ASUS A8V-E SE board, which is very similar to this one.

I've posted the full status table and a small build tutorial in the wiki:

http://www.coreboot.org/ASUS_A8V-E_Deluxe_Build_Tutorial

It boots up to a Linux login prompt, CPU, RAM, SATA (port 1), audio, ethernet,
USB, VGA, and lots of other stuff work fine. Even 'poweroff' and
'reboot' work, probably thanks to the ACPI implementation by Rudolf.

There are some TODOs left (IDE seems to have a problem, SATA port 2
also, and a few other things hasn't yet been tested), I'll work on
fixing them in the next few days or so.

Thanks, Uwe.

Good that the gameport and parport works.

Yes, you need to add ACPI IRQ routing for 0x7 and 0x8

I think it is FILO problem. Please test the devices in Linux first.
SATA is in "legacy" mode, so each SATA port has 2 master/slave devices.

In FILO:
SATA1 - hd0 (hd1 shadow)
SATA2 - hd2  (hd3 shadow)
IDE0  - hd4 master
IDE0 - hd5 slave
IDE1 - hd6 master
IDE1 - hd7 slave

Thanks,
Rudolf
