2009-08-28SFI: add capability to parse ACPI tablesFeng Tang
Extend SFI to access standard ACPI tables. (eg. the PCI MCFG) using sfi_acpi_table_parse(). Note that this is _not_ a hybrid ACPI + SFI mode. The platform boots in either ACPI mode or SFI mode. SFI runs only with acpi_disabled=1, which can be set at build-time via CONFIG_ACPI=n, or at boot time by the failure to find ACPI platform support. So this extension simply allows SFI-platforms to re-use existing standard table formats that happen to be defined to live in ACPI envelopes.

2009-08-28SFI: add platform-independent core supportFeng Tang
drivers/sfi/sfi_core.c contains the generic SFI implementation. It has a private header, sfi_core.h, for its own use and the private use of future files in drivers/sfi/ Signed-off-by: Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-08-28SFI: Simple Firmware Interface - MAINTAINERS, KconfigLen Brown
CONFIG_SFI=y enables the kernel to boot and run optimally on platforms that support the Simple Firmware Interface. Thanks to Jacob Pan for prototyping the initial Linux SFI support, and to Feng Tang for Linux bring-up and debug both in emulation and on Moorestown hardware. See http://simplefirmware.org for more information on SFI. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
