Zheng Bao e6ad7fa4a6 If the coreboot and filo overlap, it will "slice off" a piece at the 
"beginning" or "end". In the beginning case, a new segment is inserted
before the current one.  But the ptr will move forward and doesn't
seem to have any other chance to process the "new" segment.

                ptr ---------+     move --->
                             |
                             V
        +--------+       +--------+
        |        |       |        |
        |  new   | <---> |current | <---> .....
        |        |       |        |
        +--------+       +--------+

Now we change the ptr to the previous one and restart the loop. The
new and current segment will both be processed. Even if the current
segment is done twice, no new segment will come up and ptr will move
forward as we expect.

      +----------------ptr      move --->
      |
      V
 +--------+        +--------+       +--------+
 |        |        |        |       |        |
 |  prev  | <--->  |  new   | <---> |current | <---> .....
 |        |        |        |       |        |

It is tested and fixes the crashing on my AMD Family 10 board.

Some trailing whitespaces were deleted.

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:

  http://www.coreboot.org

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
