Uwe Hermann 6f2d20ec49 Convert all Intel 440BX boards to Cache-as-RAM (CAR).
- Add "select CACHE_AS_RAM" in src/cpu/intel/slot_1/Kconfig.

 - Add the following in src/cpu/intel/slot_1/Makefile.inc:
   cpu_incs += $(src)/cpu/intel/car/cache_as_ram.inc

 - Remove "select ROMCC" from all 440BX board Kconfig files.

 - Drop all early_mtrr_init() calls, that's done by CAR code now.

Various small fixes were needed to make it build:

 - Drop do_smbus_recv_byte(), do_smbus_send_byte(), do_smbus_write_byte(),
   those were never called anyways.

 - Remove the "static" from the main() functions in romstage.c files.

 - Always call dump_spd_registers() from the 440BX debug.c, but use
   "#if CONFIG_DEBUG_RAM_SETUP" to only have that code if RAM debugging
   is enabled in menuconfig.

 - Drop all "lib/ramtest.c" #includes and ram_check() calls (even if
   commented out) from romstage.c's, as we've done for most other boards.

 - Add missing #includes or prototypes. Some of the prototypes will be
   removed later when we get rid of the #include'd .c files.

Abuild-tested for all boards, and boot-tested on A-Trend ATC-6220.

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

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:
