Mike Loptien c93a75a5ab AMD/CIMx: Add functions for AMD PCI IRQ routing
The PCI_INTR table is an Index/Data pair of I/O ports
0xC00 and 0xC01.  This table is responsible for physically
routing IRQs to the PIC and IOAPIC.  The settings given
in this table are chipset and mainboard dependent, so the
table values will reside in the mainboard.c file. This
allows for a system to uniquely set its IRQ routing.
The function to write the PCI_INTR table resides in
cimx_util.c because the indices into the table have
the same definitions for all SBx00 FCH chipsets.

The next piece is a function that will read the PCI_INTR
table and program the INT_LINE and INT_PIN registers in
PCI config space appropriately.  This function will read
a devices' INT_PIN register, which is always hardcoded to
a value if it uses hardware interrupts.  It then uses this
value, along with the device and function numbers to
determine an index into the PCI_INTR table.  It will read
the table and program the corresponding value into the PCI
config space register 0x3C, INT_LINE.  Finally, it will set
this IRQ number to LEVEL_TRIGGERED on the PIC because it is
a PCI device interrupt and the must be level triggered.

For example, the SB800 USB EHCI device 0:18.2 has an INT_PIN
value hardcoded to 2.  This corresponds to PIN B.  On the
Persimmon mainboard, I want the USB device to use IRQ 11.  I
will program the PCI_INTR table at index 0x31 (this USB device
index) to 11.  This function will then read the INT_PIN register,
read the PCI_INTR table, and then program the INT_LINE register
with the value it read.  It will then set the IRQ on the PIC to
LEVEL_TRIGGERED by writing a 1 to I/O port 0x4D1 at bit position 4.

Also, the SB700 has slightly different register definitions than
the newer SB800 and SB900 so it needs its own set of #defines for
the pci_intr registers.

Only the Persimmon mainboard is adapted to this change as an
example for other mainboards.

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


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:
