Rudolf Marek e4be46b4c3 Following patch flushes the instruction queue when we set PE=0. This is normally 
done by FAR JMP, but here it is more tricky because we run at EIP>1MB. Many
thanks to Marc and Kevin to tell me how to fix it

The trick is to use 0x66 prefix (done with ljmpl) it will allow to jump in real
mode to any EIP addresses  ;)

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.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot. 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
------------------

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