Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 85acc09786 Add continuation ID support to jedec.c 
The continuation ID code does not go further than checking for IDs of
the type 0x7fXX, but does this for vendor and product ID. The current
published JEDEC spec has a list where the largest vendor ID is 7 bytes
long, but all leading bytes are 0x7f. The list will grow in the future,
and using a 64bit variable will not be enough anymore.
Besides that, it seems that the location of the ID byte after the first
continuation ID byte is very vendor specific, so we may have to revisit
that code some time in the future.

(Suggestion for a new encoding:
Use a two-byte data type for the ID, the lower byte contains the only
non-0x7f byte, the upper byte contains the number of 0x7f bytes used as
prefix, which is the bank number minus 1 the vendor ID appears in.)

Add support for EON EN29F002AT.

LinuxBIOS README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LinuxBIOS 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 LinuxBIOS. 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
------------------

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