Kevin O'Connor5c4a8c62008-05-12 23:50:16 -040022Look into ways to reduce stack usage. Alter ISRs so that they do not
23enable irqs. Only call out to other bios functions after minimizing
24stack usage.
Kevin O'Connor2ad37442008-05-06 19:49:01 -040025
Kevin O'Connor7a558e42008-03-11 20:38:33 -040026Audit all sti/cli calls. Audit all call16 calls to make sure flags is
27setup properly with respect to irqs.
Kevin O'Connor44c631d2008-03-02 11:24:36 -050028
Kevin O'Connored128492008-03-11 11:14:59 -040029Audit statements where a 32bit intermediary changes meaning of a 16bit
30comparison.
31
Kevin O'Connor63dbcfb2008-03-01 22:17:07 -050032Code assumes ebda segment is static - it doesn't read 0x40e.
33
Kevin O'Connorb8aacb02008-03-01 14:56:07 -050034The __call16 code does a long jump to the interrupt trampolines - this
35is unnecessary.
Kevin O'Connorf076a3e2008-02-25 22:25:15 -050036
37Fix makefiles so that they rebuild the required files automatically.
38
Kevin O'Connorf076a3e2008-02-25 22:25:15 -050039Cleanup setting of ES on GET/SET_BDA
40
Kevin O'Connor2ad37442008-05-06 19:49:01 -040041Possibly implement 32bit pcibios support.
Kevin O'Connorf076a3e2008-02-25 22:25:15 -050042
43Allow one to select adding 32 bit code to 0xf000 or in a separate
44location.
45
Kevin O'Connor22dfb852008-06-07 15:24:19 -040046Look at integrating the lgpl vgabios into tree.
47
Kevin O'Connorf076a3e2008-02-25 22:25:15 -050048Try generating bios tables at compile time.
