Patrick Georgi 5c0bca2ffd Inverse two arguments of cbfs-files-y and adapts its users (one of which already used the new order) 
This is in reponse to feedback that the original setup was too complicated.

New cbfs-files-y behaviour:
cbfs-files-y contains the names of files as they appear in CBFS. The
arguments describe the on-filesystem name, the type and (optionally) the
position. Example:

cbfs-files-y += foo
foo-file := bar
foo-type := splashscreen
foo-position := 0xffff8000

This configures a CBFS file called "foo" that is marked "splashscreen",
located at 0xffff8000 in flash and contains the data of the file "bar"
in the filesystem (either in the current directory, ie. where the
corresponding Makefile.inc resides, or if that doesn't exist, relative
to the toplevel directory).

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:

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
