The issues I was referring to is the use of romstage-y += throughout all the Makefiles. Without clear semantics on what each stage supports it's very difficult to ensure things don't break for any particular board/chipset. Either the classes stay the same and we change out the implementation in the source files by way of macro guards or we draw a line in the sand and say romstage has ram, e.g. I think having cleaner sources is the less of 2 evils. I still think we need to work out clear semantics of the environment for each stage. -Aaron -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
