I applied your patches with some modifications. Please update your
sources with the CVS version and tell me if you see problems in my
modifications.
You should provide at least a binary BIOS image so that I can make
regression tests. I can also put a link on the web site so that you can
give specific information about the SPARC port.
A few notes:
- The 'env->access_type' you used (as in the PowerPC version) will soon
be deprecated as it is too complicated and broken. I will make the
appropriate modifications.
- 'magic-load.c' is not acceptable as it uses GPL code. Moreover, the
user ELF loader code is too complicated, so it is better to rewrite it
from scratch. You can still use the ELF swap functions as I wrote them.
Thank you for your work !
Fabrice.
