I'm going to work on a revised set of patches that makes things less ugly. I'll also attempt to split out the arch-specific code bits so that adding arm support, for instance, should be easier. The current behavior of the patches does not please me because it changes the behavior of the boot sequence without the user knowing. A more explicit opt-in for creating threads will be employed. -Aaron -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
