Removing its use in GRUB combined with Linux devs like hpa who are hostile to coreboot (and blocked introduction of 32-bit interface for years until bowing to EFI), I fear that 32-bit entry point might become unusable very quickly. Speaking of quirk handling, when I asked about mjg details he was very vague and details are important. --SkgphFGF4ili7udoAJBxe0WHDdsAf4Cuj Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Icedove - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREKAAYFAlLee+AACgkQmBXlbbo5nOv/hQEAibYxGeIL4IyDk268CAiOj2Id heIJu4P24fgKzUZi+SYA/Alwv7r8757hBGjFDDCviaJsoLDyzEoPDL+Kw4EN4ybF =6PZg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SkgphFGF4ili7udoAJBxe0WHDdsAf4Cuj--
