-Make header files work with either 32bit or 16bit code.
+Review changes committed to coreboot, virtualbox, qemu, kvm, and bochs
+cvs tip.
+ * bochs cvs 20081208: -- synched
+ * coreboot (r3348): 20060708 -- no noteworthy enhancements
+ * qemu (r6125): 20080603 -- acpi hpet table
+ * kvm (1a33292): 20081016 -- 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
-Fix makefiles so that they rebuild the required files automatically.
+Possibly introduce a data type for the many seg/off pairs.
-Make sure gdt/idt tables are properly aligned
+Audit all sti/cli calls. Audit all call16 calls to make sure flags is
+setup properly with respect to irqs.
-Cleanup setting of ES on GET/SET_BDA
+The __call16 code does a long jump to the interrupt trampolines - this
+is unnecessary.
-Make sure inline assembly isn't preventing inlining of calling
-functions.
-
-Convert remaining parts of rombios.c to new code.
-
-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.
+Implement bios post memory manager (PMM)?
+
+Add support for calling BCVs (and registering ATA drives) in a user
+selectable manor.
+
+Possibly add option to eliminate tsc based delays on emulators.
+
+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?
