[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/10] x86: Add generic VESA video driver

This series introduces a generic VESA video driver and adjusts the generic
PCI ROM support to support it. It also fixes up some problems which
prevent this from working on PowerPC at present.

It is now possible to use VESA graphics:
- On PowerPC, using the x86 emulator
- On x86, using either the x86 emulator or native code execution

As it turns out, on the only platform I have tested (link), the x86
emulator is only slightly slower that native code execution (200ms
difference). Still, we may as well leave this feature in there.

VGA ROMs are a very old technology but they are still used by modern
platforms, including at least link and some Atom designs.


Simon Glass (10):
  bios_emulator: Fix an #ifdef typo in the header file
  x86: Correct endianness isues in pci_rom
  x86: Support ROMs on other archs
  bios_emulator: Don't display error when emulator terminates
  bios_emulator: Add some VESA interface debugging
  x86: pci: Don't stop when we get a vendor/device mismatch
  x86: Add a VESA video driver
  x86: Drop the x86_fb driver
  x86: Access the VGA ROM when needed
