[PATCH] Support for Asus M4A78-EM mainboard

[Juhana Helovuo]

Hello,

Here is a patch to get Asus M4A78-EM supported and booting Linux.

Files attached are:

* Boot log with the patches applied.

* Board-specific patch for SVN 6139

* Resend of Myles Watson's patch for AMD Northbridge, because the 
original did not work for me without manual editing. It is also needed 
for booting Linux.

Before applying the patch, the board directory should be created with

% svn cp src/mainboard/asus/m4a785-m src/mainboard/asus/m4a78-em

Signed-off-by: Juhana Helovuo

Best regards,
Juhana Helovuo

Thanks, committed the board as r6141 with some small changes.

I'll leave the northbridge patch out for now, it should be
acked/reviewed in the original thread.

Please review the code carefully for more code/configs which are not
actually specific to this board but rather copy-paste remainders from
the other board dirs this is based on, and/or need to be fixed anyway,
e.g. all of the ACPI files, mptable.c, etc. etc.

Thanks, Uwe.
