Zheng Bao eff2ffdee8 Features supported in SB700 code: 
* SATA initialization.
  * USB initialization.
  * HDA initialization.
  * LPC initialization.
  * IDE initialization.
  * SMBUS initialization.

Note:
1. I tried to add the description of every step to the code. For example,
   if it is made based on rpr, section 2.4.5, I will pasted the words
   from 2.4.5 to the c code. But the document I worked with might be
   different with the most updated one. A new section has been added and
   the 2.4.5 might be changed to 2.5.5. That migh lead to confusing. I
   correct every comment if I met one. But I have to confess that I am so
   reluctant to find out everyone. I believe it will be correct in the long
   run.
2. I only test the SATA port 0-3. The ports 4, 5 are "PATA emulations".
   I am confused about it.
3. This patch is not only about SB700. Actually it should be
   SB7x0. But I dont think it is nice to change everything to
   SB7x0. It is ugly, isn't it. As far as I know, they all use the
   same code with revision checking. If you guys think it is
   appropriate, please modify it to sb7x0.

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

Optional:

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


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:

  http://www.coreboot.org

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
