-SRIO Boot on Corenet Platforms
-------------------------------
-
-For some PowerPC processors with SRIO interface, boot location can be configured
-to SRIO by RCW. The processor booting from SRIO can do without flash for u-boot
-image, ucode and ENV. All the images can be fetched from another processor's
-memory space by SRIO link connected between them.
-
-This document describes the processes based on an example implemented on P4080DS
-platforms and a RCW example with boot from SRIO configuration.
-
-Environment of the SRIO boot:
-	a) Master and slave can be SOCs in one board or SOCs in separate boards.
-	b) They are connected with SRIO links, whether 1x or 4x, and directly or
-	   through switch system.
-	c) Only Master has NorFlash for booting, and all the Master's and Slave's
-	   U-Boot images, UCodes will be stored in this flash.
-	d) Slave has its own EEPROM for RCW and PBI.
-	e) Slave's RCW should configure the SerDes for SRIO boot port, set the boot
-	   location to SRIO, and holdoff all the cores.
