[LinuxBIOS] [PATCH] rewrite generic x86 CAR code

Carl-Daniel Hailfinger c-d.hailfinger.devel.2006 at gmx.net
Sun Dec 30 00:30:13 CET 2007


This patch is an attempt at introducing 4k CAR size granularity for the
generic x86 code. For the old supported CAR sizes, the newly generated
code is equivalent, so it should be a no-brainer.

Add a copyright header to the code, the header is derived from the one
found in the same piece of code in v3.
