Rudolf Marek 74ad66cdc1 Attached patch fixes the LPC decode ranges of SB600/SB800. We enable early only Serial/SIO/RTC. Everything else needs to be done by lpc.c Problem was that early settings survived, because the lpc.c is doing ORs only... Hence we decode quite a lot and even strange ranges like IO port 0x4600 etc... Also, if some port which does not fit to predefined set is requested, like 0x290 for Hardware monitor, the wide port is done, but in our case it has range 512 bytes which means we decode in fact 0x290 - 0x490. And if we hit GPU in the 0x3bx range I receive MCE exception if I do isadump -f 0x300 which is bad. Therefore If I detect that the requested range is small (16 bytes) I additionally set the small wide io region so only 16 bytes is decoded. While at it, I fix spelling typos and I init the regs so we don't write random garbage to regs even if we don't enable them later.

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:
