[LinuxBIOS] co processor support and other

[Lu, Yinghai]

Just check in
1. r2308: Option CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA_ONBOARD_AT_FIRST
    It decides use onboard VGA or add on vga adapter
2. r2309: reduce clear ECC time from 2.1x to 1.1x. need to enable
SERIAL_CPU_INIT
3. r2310: enable ht chain for drc co processor in s2891.

Please check that.

Steve,
I still wonder how do you init the memory on your co processor without
the spd rom access. ( hard coded)

Thanks

What coprocessor is that? A Xilinx FPGA? Are 2891 delivered with those
per default? Can LinuxBIOs fuel them with code now?

This sounds _very_ interesting.

I think he's talking about enabling the use of:

with the board. That chip has already had my interest for awhile. :)
