Stefan Reinauer 4ed326be5d This patch from Ralf Grosse Boerger makes debugging more comfortable. 
With this patch it's possible to 

- determine the according source code line for each asm statement
  (objdump -dS)
- determine the source code file for each asm statement 
  (objdump -ddl)

This isn't exactly trivial because cache_as_ram_auto.c gets compiled to
assembly and converted by a perl script afterwards.

This patch solves the problem 
- by extending cache_as_ram_auto.inc with debug information and line
  numbers
- by correcting the perl calls (".text" --> "\.text")
- by creating a disassembly with source code and line numbers.
  (ctr0.disasm and
  coreboot.disasm)

There's one minor downside to the patch: A complete abuild run takes up
around 1.6G instead of about 700MB now. But I'm sure this is quite
reasonable for the benefits.

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.


Payloads
--------

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

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