Carl-Daniel Hailfinger b266f6fc16 Somehow svn add didn't work for the include files. Commit the remainder 
of r4147.

Thanks to Myles' patch adding support for include statements,
refactoring Config.lb became possible.

Factor out ROM size calculation from Config.lb.
  
This patch converts 87 boards (with and without USE_FAILOVER_IMAGE),
but it has to work around a parser bug. 

89 files changed, 209 insertions(+), 2415 deletions(-)
A total of 2206 removed lines.
  
Abuild works for all changed boards on khepri.

I've tested serengeti for the failover portion and s2892 for the
nofailover portion.  ldoptions are exactly the same and they both boot
the same.

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
 * python
 * perl

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Documentation 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:
