Stefan Reinauer 467102748f I know there is still an ongoing discussion on the list about this patch, and
how support for superios might look in the future. This code (like all the
rest, too) will certainly change and evolve in the future, as v3 evolves.

-----

Add support for the Fintek F71805f to LinuxBIOSv3. It hasn't been tested yet
because something's failing to build elsewhere, but the stage1 does build, and
for the moment that's what matters. It's based on working v2 code so it should
work fine.

Enable this option if you want to test development features or
incomplete/unsupported mainboards.
We do not make any guarantees about anything that is marked
as EXPERIMENTAL! You have been warned!

This allows you to select certain advanced configuration options.
It is mainly intended for LinuxBIOS developers.
Warning: Only enable this option if you really know what you're
doing! You have been warned!

Append an extra string to the end of the LinuxBIOS version.

bool "Pre-parse ELF file and convert ELF segments to LAR entries"
depends EXPERT

help
Until now, LinuxBIOS has used elf for the payload. There are many problems
this, not least being the inefficiency -- the ELF has to be decompressed to
memory and then the segments have to be copied. Plus, lar can't see the segments
in the elf -- to see all segments, you have to extract the elf and run readelf on it.
There are problems with collisions of the decompressed ELF location in memory
and the segment locations in memory.
Finally, validation of the ELF is done at run time, once you have flashed the
FLASH and rebooted the machine. Boot time is really not the time you want to find
out your ELF payload is broken.
With this option, LinuxBIOS will direct lar to break each elf segment into a LAR
entry. ELF will not be used at all. Note that (for now) LinuxBIOS is backward
compatible -- if you put an ELF payload in, LinuxBIOS can still parse it. We hope
to remove ELF entirely in the future.
config PAYLOAD_ELF
bool "An ELF executable payload file"
help
Select this option if you have a payload image (an ELF file)
which LinuxBIOS should run as soon as the basic hardware
initialization is completed.
You will be able to specify the location and file name of the
payload image later.
config PAYLOAD_NONE
bool "No payload"
help
Select this option if you want to create an "empty" LinuxBIOS
ROM image for a certain mainboard, i.e. a LinuxBIOS ROM image
which does not yet contain a payload.
For such an image to be useful, you have to use the 'lar' tool
to add a payload to the ROM image later.
