Ollie what is your situation with the DOC?  Are you just looking
for alternatives or do you have a genuine problem?

As far as things go Adam has a proof of concept implementation that
seems to work.  I couldn't get it to boot my kernel but it looked
like a stupid bug that should take just a couple of hours to debug.

Beyond that I believe he made it work with redboot code, so while
he can freely redistribute it, he cannot include it in a GPL work
like linuxBIOS, or etherboot.

I am interested in the general area as well, at least as far as
finding a good solution to the spinup problem..  But currently I have
a few more important fish to fry...

Eric
