[patch] Kconfig support for M57SLI

[Harald Gutmann]

Here is my new version of the Kconfig patch for M57SLI.

It does build, but there are some warnings about CONFIG_* values not defined.

Right now I have not tested the generated images, but I think I can do that 
tomorrow.
When the images work, it will get the "Signed-off" tag.

Thanks to Myles Watson and Christi Magherusan for helping out in various 
themes according this patch and the understanding of Kconfig.

Kind regards,
Harald

Hmm... Why do I so often forget that I should/want to attach something?

Here it is.

Note: The devicetree.cb just contains some cleanup and whitespace fixes. There 
have no "changes" been done on that file.

Please check current svn, we use a different method for this now.
src/mainboard/gigabyte/Kconfig includes all board files.

Example: src/mainboard/asus/Kconfig and src/mainboard/asus/p2b-f/Kconfig
> +config BOARD_GIGABYTE_M57SLI
> bool "M57SLI"

Full names as per vendor website please, in this case:

config BOARD_GIGABYTE_GA_M57SLI_S4
    bool "GA-M57SLI-S4"

There are multiple occurences below, please fix them all.

^^^^^^^
  This is the only exception, should stay "m57sli" as it's a dirname.

Should be bool, but this is no longer needed as of recent svn,
you can use "select USE_DCACHE_RAM" above.
Or just drop it, the default is y anyway in src/cpu/amd/model_fxx/Kconfig.

These three also also no longer needed, pre-defined in
src/cpu/amd/model_fxx/Kconfig.

All "bool"s that are set to y can be written a lot shorter as:

select HAVE_HARD_RESET
select HAVE_HIGH_TABLES
select IOAPIC

above (in the "BOARD_GIGABYTE_GA_M57SLI_S4" section)

Not needed, default is 49 already.

default "GA-M57SLI-S4"

This is defined bool in src/devices/Kconfig so you can use
"select PCI_64BIT_PREF_MEM".

This looks strange. You can probably drop them, but if they stay
HAVE_FALLBACK_BOOT should be y (it's enabled in Options.lb),
not sure about USE_FALLBACK_IMAGE...

Hm, not yet defined in kconfig, should probably move somewhere global
(this is work in progress), but I'm not sure.

Not sure either, see above.

Probably bool.

Looks ok, this is _not_ a bool, AFAIK.

bool

It's actually commented in Options.lb, so the default from
src/config/Options.lb probably is in effect, which is:

define CONFIG_SERIAL_CPU_INIT
        default 1
        export always
        comment "Serialize CPU init"
end

So this should be "select SERIAL_CPU_INIT" I think.

Both are bool so you can use "select", but these two will probably
be moved to a global place anyway.

Probably not needed, the Kconfig file for the CPU socket
sets this one.

Never defined in kconfig so far, but it should be bool. Also,
you use CONFIG_HAVE_FANCTL below, so it must be named "HAVE_FANCTL"
here.

The diff for this is very hard to read and has many whitespace changes.
What is it supposed to do? Purely cosmetic changes? Or are there
functional changes in there? Which?

This part is correct but some additional stuff is needed, see
asus/Kconfig for an example.

Yep, Makefile.inc is the wrong place. Are they in Kconfig now or
dropped?

Oh, the convention was actually to use the names of the directories...

Will we have to change them all?
