[Linux-ia64] ELI now on sourceforge

[Johannes Erdfelt]

I've taken ELI and created a project on sourceforge.net for it.

ELI is a boot loader for EFI based systems. It was developed for, and
currently only works for, Linux on ia64 systems.

I've also made a new release which mostly cleans up the allocations
before exiting. It's not finished yet, for instance, ACPI data isn't
freed yet, but will come soon.

I couldn't get this to compile: FPSWA_PROTOCOL is undefined.  Where and
how is this supposed to be defined?

I had defined it in my gnu-efi/inc/efiprot.h file.

I forgot I had done that, but that raises the question where is this
supposed to be defined?

But, for right now, this patch will work:

I've checked this in already to CVS
