I pushed the changes into the x86 sub-repo but noticed a minor glitch
which breaks the build. On top of that, I've upgraded my dev machine to
a 64-bit arch, moved from Ubuntu to Fedora and got a dud motherboard in
the mix. So my dev machine is only just now back online, but I need to
sort out the last few 64-bit build issues (which require U-Boot patches)
and fix up the x86 sub-repo before sending the pull request.

Sorry for the dealy, but hopefully I'll have it all sorted by the end of
the week

Regards,

Graeme
