I think I have a better idea. For those who want the linuxbios services in
kernel, why not just compile the relevant part of the linuxbios as a
kernel module that you can insmod? This nicely avoids all the
problems. You're guaranteed that your linuxbios.o kernel module conforms
to whatever kernel calling conventions there are by definition.
So you would compile, e.g.
northbridge, southbridge, and superio code into a linuxbios.o and insmod
that into the kernel. Then you're sure that whatever linuxbios.o you're
using conforms to all the interfaces.
I thinks this would work fine.
