| Enhance shadow support: Write-enable c, d, e segments; write protect |
| option roms before boot. When copying bios - just copy from high |
| memory. |
| |
| Replace hand-rolled memory allocation code with new malloc_fseg() and |
| malloc_high() functions. |
| |
| Refactor acpi rsdt table creation code - allow each sub-table to be |
| added dynamically. |
| |
| Deploy smbios in high memory. |
| |
| Unify floppy functions and main disk functions? |
| |
| Add int 0x1589 support. |
| |
| Review changes committed to coreboot, virtualbox, qemu, kvm, and bochs |
| cvs tip. |
| * bochs cvs (20090620): |
| -- hpet, int1589, smbios mem>16GB, mptable on 1 cpu, mptable irq0 |
| override |
| * coreboot (r3348): (bochs 20060708) |
| -- no noteworthy enhancements |
| * qemu (r6125): (bochs 20080603) |
| -- acpi hpet table |
| * kvm (1a33292): (bochs 20081016) |
| -- acpi dsdt changes, e820 vmx pages, setup mtrrs, clear tsc, acpi |
| intsrcovr table, different pci irqs, smbios always uses 16 |
| cpus, no acpi ssdt, fadt->gpe0_blk set |
| * virtualbox (r13560): (bochs 20061231) |
| -- lots of mouse changes, logo, scsi/etherboot hooks, int 1589, |
| floppy data rate?, int19 calls post |
| |
| Possibly introduce a data type for the many seg/off pairs. |
| |
| Audit all sti/cli calls. Audit all call16 calls to make sure flags is |
| setup properly with respect to irqs. |
| |
| The __call16 code does a long jump to the interrupt trampolines - this |
| is unnecessary. |
| |
| Possibly implement 32bit pcibios support. |
| |
| Allow one to select adding 32 bit code to 0xf000 or in a separate |
| location. |
| |
| Implement bios post memory manager (PMM)? |
| |
| Support PCIv3 roms? Add support for PCI "configuration code" |
| extensions? Add support for PCI permanent memory extensions to PMM? |
| |
| Possibly add option to eliminate tsc based delays on emulators. |
| |
| Add a kconfig style configuration program instead of requiring users |
| to modify config.h. |
| |
| Support usb booting? Support usb keyboard/mice? |
| |
| Add a graphical boot splash screen? |
| |
| Possibly support sending debug information over EHCI debug port. |
