Simon Glass 65dd74a674 x86: ivybridge: Implement SDRAM init
Implement SDRAM init using the Memory Reference Code (mrc.bin) provided in
the board directory and the SDRAM SPD information in the device tree. This
also needs the Intel Management Engine (me.bin) to work. Binary blobs
everywhere: so far we have MRC, ME and microcode.

SDRAM init works by setting up various parameters and calling the MRC. This
in turn does some sort of magic to work out how much memory there is and
the timing parameters to use. It also sets up the DRAM controllers. When
the MRC returns, we use the information it provides to map out the
available memory in U-Boot.

U-Boot normally moves itself to the top of RAM. On x86 the RAM is not
generally contiguous, and anyway some RAM may be above 4GB which doesn't
work in 32-bit mode. So we relocate to the top of the largest block of
RAM we can find below 4GB. Memory above 4GB is accessible with special
functions (see physmem).

It would be possible to build U-Boot in 64-bit mode but this wouldn't
necessarily provide any more memory, since the largest block is often below
4GB. Anyway U-Boot doesn't need huge amounts of memory - even a very large
ramdisk seldom exceeds 100-200MB. U-Boot has support for booting 64-bit
kernels directly so this does not pose a limitation in that area. Also there
are probably parts of U-Boot that will not work correctly in 64-bit mode.
The MRC is one.

There is some work remaining in this area. Since memory init is very slow
(over 500ms) it is possible to save the parameters in SPI flash to speed it
up next time. Suspend/resume support is not fully implemented, or at least
it is not efficient.

With this patch, link boots to a prompt.

Select this option to add a System Agent binary to

It is a binary blob which U-Boot uses to set up SDRAM.
Note: Without this binary U-Boot will not be able to set up its
SDRAM so will not boot.

help
Virtual Machine Extensions are provided in many x86 CPUs. These
provide various facilities for allowing a host OS to provide an
environment where potentially several guest OSes have only
limited access to the underlying hardware. This is achieved
without resorting to software trapping and/or instruction set
emulation (which would be very slow).
Intel's implementation of this is called VT-x. This option enables
VT-x this so that the OS that is booted by U-Boot can make use of
these facilities. If this option is not enabled, then the host OS
will be unable to support virtualisation, or it will run very
slowly.
