Call for version 1.1?

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

Hi all,

With the exception of the patch just posted to the list to fix the boot 
word under SPARC32, I have no outstanding patches left for OpenBIOS. 
Since we are now able to boot some 32-bit Solaris kernels, it seems as 
good an excuse as any to put out a 1.1 release :)

We also get the satisfaction of closing this bug here: 
http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/openbios/ticket/4.

Does anyone else have any other outstanding patches they feel should go 
in before another release? Andreas?

ATB,

Mark.

Aren't #24 and #27 also completed? NVRAM has been replaced by fw_cfg
and OFMEM merged the allocators.

No idea. That was definitely before my time on the project. Perhaps 
Stefan is the person to ask?

ATB,

NVRAM use was removed in r479 and OFMEM was used on Sparc32 by commits
(actually yours) r989 to r1009.
