Julius Werner 1f86434227 libpayload: xhci: Make XHCI stack usable on ARM
This patch updates the libpayload XHCI stack to run on ARM CPUs (tested
with the DWC3 controller on an Exynos5420). Firstly, it adds support for
64-byte Slot/Endpoint Context sizes. Since the existing context handling
code represented the whole device context as a C struct (whose size has
to be known at compile time), it was necessary to refactor the input and
device context structures to consist of pointers to the actual contexts
instead.

Secondly, it moves all data structures that the xHC accesses through DMA
to cache-coherent memory. With a similar rationale as in the ARM patches
for EHCI, using explicit cache maintenance functions to correctly handle
the actual transfer buffers in all cases is presumably impossible.
Instead this patch also chooses to create a DMA bounce buffer in the
XHCI stack where transfer buffers which are not already cache-coherent
will be copied to/from.

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:

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
