Sol Boucher 057256541b cbfstool: Fix ability to add files at offsets near the end of empty spaces
Because cbfs_add_entry_at() previously *assumed* it would have to create a
trailing empty entry, it was impossible to add files at exact offsets close
enough to the end of an existing empty entry that they occupied the remainder
of its space. This addresses the problem by skipping the step of creating the
trailing empty entry if doing so would place it at the start offset of whatever
already followed the original empty section.

BUG=chromium:473511
TEST=Run the following commands:
$ ./cbfstool test.image create -s 0x100000 -m arm
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=twok.bin bs=1 count=2048
$ ./cbfstool test.image add -t 0x50 -f twok.bin -n at_end -b 0xff7c0
$ ./cbfstool test.image add -t 0x50 -f twok.bin -n near_end -b 0xfef80
$ ./cbfstool test.image print
There shouldn't be any assertions, and the output should be:
test.image: 1024 kB, bootblocksize 0, romsize 1048576, offset 0x40
alignment: 64 bytes, architecture: arm

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

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


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

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


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

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO 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:
