+/* The linuxbios table information is for conveying information
+ * from the firmware to the loaded OS image.  Primarily this
+ * is expected to be information that cannot be discovered by
+ * other means, such as quering the hardware directly.
+ *
+ * All of the information should be Position Independent Data.  
+ * That is it should be safe to relocated any of the information
+ * without it's meaning/correctnes changing.   For table that
+ * can reasonably be used on multiple architectures the data
+ * size should be fixed.  This should ease the transition between
+ * 32 bit and 64 bit architectures etc.
+ *
+ * The completeness test for the information in this table is:
+ * - Can all of the hardware be detected?
+ * - Are the per motherboard constants available?
+ * - Is there enough to allow a kernel to run that was written before
+ *   a particular motherboard is constructed? (Assuming the kernel
+ *   has drivers for all of the hardware but it does not have
+ *   assumptions on how the hardware is connected together).
+ *
+ * With this test it should be straight forward to determine if a
+ * table entry is required or not.  This should remove much of the
+ * long term compatibility burden as table entries which are
+ * irrelevant or have been replaced by better alternatives may be
+ * dropped.  Of course it is polite and expidite to include extra
+ * table entries and be backwards compatible, but it is not required.

+/* Since LinuxBIOS is usually compiled 32bit, gcc will align 64bit 
+ * types to 32bit boundaries. If the LinuxBIOS table is dumped on a 
+ * 64bit system, a uint64_t would be aligned to 64bit boundaries, 
+ * breaking the table format.
+ *
+ * lb_uint64 will keep 64bit LinuxBIOS table values aligned to 32bit
+ * to ensure compatibility. They can be accessed with the two functions
+ * below: unpack_lb64() and pack_lb64()
