You don't need linuxbios_ram part to scan pci and allocate resource for
PCI devices? Or let kernel to do these allocation?

The original goal of linuxbios was that linux would be the bios.

sadly, linux got big and flash got small.

That said, on OLPC, we're going to try again. In fact I'm gearing up to 
try putting some gcc code into linux and loading linux direct from 
romcc-based code. I think it might work.

Who knows what's true :-)

I want to find out how to let the kernel do it. It's almost capable. 
This was our goal, 6 years ago; maybe the kernel is ready.
