Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 00003ae712 If no pci access method has been set for the device tree so far (e.g. 
during early coreboot_ram), pci_{read,write}_config{8,16,32} will die().
This patch changes pci_{read,write}_config{8,16,32} to use the existing
PCI access method autodetection infrastructure instead of die()ing.

Until r4340, any usage of pci_{read,write}_config{8,16,32} in
coreboot_ram before the device tree was set up resulted in either a
silent hang or a NULL pointer dereference. I changed the code in r4340
to die() properly with a loud error message. That still was not perfect,
but at least it allowed people to see why their new ports died.
Still, die() is not something developers like to see, and thus a patch
to automatically pick a sensible default instead of dying was created.
Of course, handling PCI access method selection automatically for
fallback purposes has certain limitations before the device tree is set
up. We only check if conf1 works and use conf2 as fallback. No further
tests are done.

This patch enables cleanups and readability improvements in early
coreboot_ram code:
Without this patch:
dword = pci_cf8_conf1.read32(&pbus, sm_dev->bus->secondary,
        sm_dev->path.pci.devfn, 0x64);
With this patch:
dword = pci_read_config32(sm_dev, 0x64);

README 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot 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 or a bootloader.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


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

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

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make
 * python
 * perl

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Documentation for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
-------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:

  http://www.coreboot.org

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
