Uwe Hermann 55dc223ccd Factor out common mptable code to mptable_init().
- Drop sig[], oem[], and productid[] fields in all mptable.c files, no
   longer needed. The sig[] is always the same ("PCMP"), the oem[] is
   currently also always the same ("COREBOOT"), and productid is being
   passed into mptable_init() directly as string now.

 - LAPIC_ADDR is passed in as parameter, too. While at the moment it's
   always the same value that is passed in, the LAPIC base address could
   also be relocated theoretically, so keep it as parameter for now.

 - Fix a few productid entries, they were (partially) incorrect:

   - DK8S2 (was "DK8X", copypaste)
   - 939A785GMH (was "MAHOGANY", copypaste)
   - X6DHE-G (was "X6DHE", incomplete board name)
   - H8DME-2 (was "H8DMR", copypaste)
   - H8QME-2+ (was "H8QME", incomplete board name)
   - X6DHE-G2 (was "X6DHE", incomplete board name)
   - X6DHR-iG2 (was "X6DHR-iG", incomplete board name)
   - GA-M57SLI-S4 (was "M57SLI", incomplete board name)
   - KINO-780AM2 (was "KINO", incomplete board name)
   - DL145 G1 (was "DL145G1", small fix as per vendor website)
   - DL145 G3 (was "TREX", wrong board name)
   - DL165 G6 (was "HP DL165 G6", drop vendor)
   - S2912 (was "S2895", copypaste)
   - VT8454c (was "VIA VT8454C", drop vendor, lower-case "c")
   - EPIA-N (was "P4DPE", copypaste)
   - pc2500e (was "PC2500", incorrect name)
   - S1850 (was "S2850", copy-paste)
   - MS-7135 (was "MS7135")
   - MS-9282 (was "MS9282")
   - MS-9185 (was "MS9185")
   - MS-9652 (was "K9ND MS-9652")
   - Ultra 40 (was "ultra40")
   - E326 (was "E325", copypaste)
   - M4A785-M (was "TILAPIA", copypaste)
   - P2B-D (was "ASUS P2B-D", drop vendor)
   - P2B-DS (was "ASUS P2B-DS", drop vendor)

 - Adapt the mptable utility to use mptable_init() too.

Abuild-tested.

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

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:
