[LinuxBIOS] [PATCH] Move common utilities to util/

Hi,

here's my proposal for moving (via 'svn mv') common utilities which are
not specific to a certain version of LinuxBIOS into the global util/
(they are now in the v2 util/).


Todo
----
abuild         -- needs discussion; will it work for v3 eventually?
ADLO           -- is/should be version-independant
analysis
buildrom       -- not related to Jordan's buildrom? Needed in v2?
dump_mmcr
getpir
lbtdump        -- Do we need this at all? Can't lxbios do the same?
mptable
probe_superio
resetcf


Projects which should _not_ be moved
------------------------------------

newconfig      -- v2-specific
optionlist     -- v2-specific
options        -- needed for v2 build, but we have a fork in v3 (FIXME?)
romcc          -- not used in v3
vgabios        -- we use a different/modified version in v3, so leave this

Already moved
-------------
flashrom
lxbios


Comments welcome.

If nobody complains, I'll move the projects tomorrow or so.


Another discussion is needed as to which of the utilities we should
draw back into v2/v3 via svn:externals (IMHO _not_ all of them, only
often-used ones). After a quick look I'd suggest the following:

 - adlo (while we're at it, we should rename it from ADLO to adlo, IMO)
   This will be used often for booting Windows and OpenBSD soon...

 - flashrom (already done), often used for flashing.

 - lxbios (already done), often used for changing options.


Commens welcome.


Uwe.
