commit 930ecd22286a3a8f708e562362cef1e3a81f0200
Author: Vadim Bendebury <vbendeb at chromium.org>

    Introduce utility for parsing CBMEM contents.
    
    This is a python script which is supposed to run on a target
    which is controlled by coreboot. The script examines top of
    memory looking for the CBMEM signature at addresses aligned at
    128K boundary. Once the script finds the CBMEM, it iterates
    through the CBMEM table of contents and parses two entries: the
    timestamps and the console log.
    
    This submission is just a template to build upon to create a
    utility for displaying CBMEM information while running Linux on
    the target.

+Parse and display CBMEM contents.
+
+This module is meant to run on systems with coreboot based firmware.
+
+When started, it determines the amount of DRAM installed on the system, and
+then scans the top area of DRAM (right above the available memory size)
+looking for the CBMEM base signature at locations aligned at 0x20000
+boundaries.
+
+Once it finds the CBMEM signature, the utility parses the contents, reporting
+the section IDs/sizes and also reporting the contents of the tiemstamp and
+console sections.
