Stefan Reinauer 0528863e20 This patch reshapes northbridge and southbridge inclusion. It selects
southbridge drivers in Kconfig.

* It includes initial superio code as well, but there is at least one
  error in the pnp_device.c/superio scenario left

* Fixed biosemu.c, vm86.c, pnp_device.c (sort of)

* Enable vm86 instead of x86emu per default for vga init for now. This
  makes VGA in qemu work. There might be a bug in x86emu or the compiler
  I am using. (gcc version 4.1.2 20070115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux))

* Import isa-dma.c, keyboard.c and i8259.c from v2 /pc80, which was taken
  from LinuxBIOSv1 released from LANL under release LA-CC Number 00-34
  and using parts from the Linux kernel.

This patch makes vga and keyboard work in qemu. Yippie

LinuxBIOS README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LinuxBIOS is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary
BIOS you can find in most of today's computers.

It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes
one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by LinuxBIOS. Examples include:

 * A Linux kernel
 * FILO (a simple bootloader with filesystem support)
 * GRUB2 (a free bootloader; support is in development)
 * OpenBIOS (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * Open Firmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * SmartFirmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * GNUFI (a free, UEFI-compatible firmware)
 * Etherboot (for network booting and booting from raw IDE or FILO)
 * ADLO (for booting Windows 2000 or OpenBSD)
 * Plan 9 (a distributed operating system)
 * memtest86 (for testing your RAM)


Supported Hardware
------------------

LinuxBIOS supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.
