[LinuxBIOS] amd LX code committed

[Ronald G Minnich]

Thanks to the fine work if Indrek Kruusa, a tentative version of AMD LX 
support was committed today. I intend to test later today.

This is really great news. Thanks to Indrek for his fine work.

The first example mainboard is named artecdesign/dbe61

It will not build for you, as you need a gcc-3.4 compiler; I intend to 
test with 4.0 to see if that will work.

thanks

:) It is artecgroup/dbe61. Anyway, thank you Ronald! I didn't hope that 
my nasty patch will make the way into official tree. This is excellent!

The compilation is currently broken though and the whole thing is far 
from the final LX support. E.g. what we should do with CS5536 code which 
currently includes GX2 definitions? Should we implement CPU_MODEL in 
src/config/Options.lb and #if GX2/LX includes based on this? Is there 
similar plans or solutions for v3?

I have to clarify that my changes were based on the awesome work from 
Heiki Kask. We continue working on the Geode LX support in LinuxBIOS 
together with Andrei Birjukov.

thanks,
Indrek

I don't want to drop that kind of stuff everywhere. I just need to 
understand why you did what you did, then I can try to make it work in 
linuxbios.

thanks
