[PATCH] Update LinuxBIOS/coreboot support in memtest86 3.5

[Stefan Reinauer]

Hi,

the attached patch does the following:
- renames LinuxBIOS to coreboot; in addition you need to mv linuxbios.c
coreboot.c and mv linuxbios_tables.h coreboot_tables.h
- fixes cross compilation with an i386-elf- cross toolchain. i.e. use
$(OBJCOPY) instead of objcopy, add $(CROSS)
- instead of preprocessing bootsect.S into bootsect.s, the intermediate
file is now called bootsect.pre.s. This fixes compilation of memtest86+
on case insensitive filesystems (like NTFS and HFS+)
- Drop unused HWRPB coreboot table type
- Add support for coreboot table forward. The coreboot table may live
somewhere else in memory, in which case there's only a "forwarder" in
the lower 1MB of memory.

Best regards,
Stefan

Thanks Stefan!  That definitely needed to be done.

In Message-ID:  there was a follow-on
patch to fix a bug for memtest86+, but I didn't see that also sent to
memtest86... Was the fix added?

I never got any feedback on the memtest86 patch, but that same follow-on
patch is needed for memtest86, too.
