> Subject: [PATCH v5 0/8] x86: Add basic Slim Bootloader payload support
> 
> This patch is to enable U-Boot as a payload which runs on top of Slim
> Bootloader(https://github.com/slimbootloader/slimbootloader) boot firmware
> for x86 platforms.
> 
> The Slim Bootloader is designed with multi-stage architecture for the execution
> from reset vector to OS hand-off, and supports qemu, Apollolake, Whiskeylake
> and Coffeelake platforms consuming Intel FSP(https://github.com/IntelFsp/FSP)
> for silicon initialization including CAR and memory initialization.
> As multi-stage architecture, the Slim Bootloader adopts payload concept which
> is responsible for OS load from media devices and boot OS and it supports 32-bit
> PE32, EFI FV, ELF and RAW format payloads.
> The Slim Bootloader generate HOB(Hand Off Block) list pointer, which has debug
> serial port info, memory map info, performance data info and etc., and passes it
> to a payload. U-Boot configures serial port, dram, pci, tsc and others with the
> information from the HOB.
> 
> The compiled U-Boot supports usb, sata and sd/mmc boot which have been
> verified on qemu and other supported platforms.
> 
> Changes in v5:
>   * Remove X86_LOAD_FROM_32_BIT from slimbootloader_defconfig
> 
> Changes in v4:
>   * Use arch/x86/cpu/start.S with CONFIG_SYS_SLIMBOOTLOADER condition
>   * Update U-boot or u-boot to U-Boot in commit message
>   * Add static keyword in static function
> 
> Changes in v3:
>   * Add a brief description about Slim Bootloader in 1st patch
>   * Add a common HOB library to be used by both FSP and Slim Bootloader
>   * Move board/slimbootloader/slimbootloader to board/intel/slimbootloader
>   * Add more description board/intel/slimbootloader/README
>   * Fix comments from the code review
> 
> Changes in v2:
>   * Split a single patch to 8 patches
>   * Add more comment for each structure and functions
> 
> Aiden Park (8):
>   x86: Add new slimbootloader CPU type
>   x86: Add a common hob library
>   x86: slimbootloader: Add memory configuration
>   x86: slimbootloader: Add serial driver
>   x86: slimbootloader: Set TSC information for timer driver
>   x86: slimbootloader: Add a slimbootloader device tree
>   board: intel: Add new slimbootloader board
>   x86: Skip setting up MTRRs in slimbootloader
