[U-Boot] installing u-boot on a virtual x86 machine

[Francesco Lucconi]

Yes, I've readed the README.x86 document provided from uboot, I've created
my u-boot-dtb.bin following the rules of coreboot-x86 recipe.
I suppose I have to apply several tunings since I'm working with a PC with
i7-2600 Intel Core CPU, right?
Here you have the screenshots of some starting phases on virtualbox
platform (I've attached the files even if I think they don't give many
information).
