-Find out why ubuntu compiles are failing. Find work around.
+Clean up timer code. Don't use PORT_DIAG as delay mechanism.
-Audit all sti/cli calls.
+The keyboard driver should detect ctrl+alt+del and reboot the
+machine.
-Code assumes ebda segment is static - it doesn't read 0x40e.
+Fix keyboard LEDs.
+
+Review changes committed to coreboot, virtualbox, qemu, kvm, and bochs
+cvs tip.
+ * bochs cvs 20081016: -- better post resume support
+ * coreboot (r3348): 20060708 -- no noteworthy enhancements
+ * qemu (r5536): 20080603 -- has cmos smp count
+ * kvm (1a33292): 20071016 -- acpi dsdt changes, e820 vmx
+ pages, setup mtrrs, clear tsc, acpi intsrcovr table, different pci
+ irqs, smbios always uses 16 cpus, no acpi ssdt, fadt->gpe0_blk set
+ * virtualbox (r13560): 20061231 -- lots of mouse changes, logo,
+ scsi/etherboot hooks, int 1589, floppy data rate?, int19 calls
+ post
+
+Look into ways to reduce stack usage. Alter ISRs so that they do not
+enable irqs. Only call out to other bios functions after minimizing
+stack usage.
-See if using an ld script for 16bit mode is a good idea.
+Audit all sti/cli calls. Audit all call16 calls to make sure flags is
+setup properly with respect to irqs.
+
+Audit statements where a 32bit intermediary changes meaning of a 16bit
+comparison.
+
+Code assumes ebda segment is static - it doesn't read 0x40e.
The __call16 code does a long jump to the interrupt trampolines - this
is unnecessary.
-Fix makefiles so that they rebuild the required files automatically.
-
Cleanup setting of ES on GET/SET_BDA
-Make sure inline assembly isn't preventing inlining of calling
-functions.
-
-Convert remaining parts of rombios.c to new code.
+Audit code for 16bit protected mode accesses. Support 1ab1 from 16bit
+protected mode.
-Convert rombios32 and apm bios stuff to new code.
+Possibly implement 32bit pcibios support.
Allow one to select adding 32 bit code to 0xf000 or in a separate
location.
-Try generating bios tables at compile time.
+See if it is possible to handle interrupts while in 32bit mode.
+
+Add a kconfig style configuration program instead of requiring users
+to modify config.h.
+
+Look at integrating the lgpl vgabios into tree.
+
+Look at usb booting specs. Look at possibly supporting usb
+keyboard/mice.
-Move e820 map generation to post time (just have e820 code copy pre
-made tables back to user).
+Add a graphical boot splash screen?
