May I ask you to split this patch into logical parts? > Building the example kernel for mips still needs some work, as > I have not managed to build for mips yet with either my > mips64-linux-gnu cross-compilation toolchain on Fedora 32 or > on my Debian 10.3 MIPS install running in qemu-system-mips. This is not big deal. We can fix it later. Daniel _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
