Its interaction with QEMU is described in the commit that introduces the

optionroms: Silence intermediate file removal

The build process of optionroms spits out an "rm ..." line. Moreover, it
removes all .o files that can be handy for debugging purposes. So
disable automatic intermediate removal.

fix linuxboot.bin and multiboot.bin to not hijack int19

Currently linuxboot.bin and multiboot.bin option roms override int19
vector to intercept boot process. No sane option rom should do that.
Provide bev entry instead that will be called by BIOS if option rom...

Fix multiboot compilation

Commit dd4239d6574ca41c94fc0d0f77ddc728510ffc57 broke multiboot. It replaced the
instruction "rep insb (%dx), %es:(%edi)" by the binary output of

Linuxboot calls the respective helper function in a code16 section. So the...

linuxboot: fix gdt address calculation

The gdt address calculation in linuxboot.bin is broken in two ways: first
it loads %cs into %eax, but that instruction leaves the high bits of %eax
undefined and we did not clear them. Secondly, we completely ignore the...

Use vpath directive

The vpath directive has two advantages over the VPATH variable:
1) it allows to skip searching of .o files; 2) the default semantics
are to append to the vpath, so there is no confusion between "VPATH=xyz"
and "VPATH+=xyz".

Since "vpath %.c %.h PATH" is not valid, I'm introducing a wrapper...

Fix thinko in linuxboot.S

The %gs segment that was used was not matching the comments.
I just moved the GDT descriptor on the stack instead.
