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 Possibly introduce a data type for the many seg/off pairs. Audit all sti/cli calls. Audit all call16 calls to make sure flags is setup properly with respect to irqs. The __call16 code does a long jump to the interrupt trampolines - this is unnecessary. Possibly implement 32bit pcibios support. Allow one to select adding 32 bit code to 0xf000 or in a separate location. 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. Add a graphical boot splash screen?
