the patch:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/78270
this has been reverted, because it caused s3 resume
issues on most intel laptops in libreboot.
i was going to merge this instead:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/78623
however, it's under review, and this doesn't change
to the old behaviour; it keeps the new universal
config, but changes the default
we know the old logic works, so keep that for now.
in fact, the offending patch was only merged to
main in coreboot, one day before i recently
updated coreboot revs in coreboot/default - i used
a 12 october revision, the patch above is 11 october
i then ran "./update trees -u coreboot" which updated
the heap sizes back to the old defaults. this should
fix s3 suspend/resume where it was broken, in the
libreboot 20231021 release - a point release with this
and a few other fixes is planned soon.

the logic for naming coreboot roms is based on whether
cpu_microcode_blob.bin would exist in cbfs, and whether
deletion was therefore successful.
lbmk was naming nomicrocode on fam15h roms on this basis,
but the microcode was being inserted as microcode_amd.bin
and microcode_amd_fam15h.bin
in the recent 20231021 release, the roms were exclusively
labeled _nomicrocode in the rom names, but they do in fact
contain microcode.
i'm fixing it by telling lbmk *not* to delete microcode.
if microcode_required is not set, or it's set to y, then
only roms *with* microcode updates are provided; even if
the rom doesn't actually contain it, lbmk will only label
it _nomicrocode if that setting is set to n.
i'm not bothering to add further complexity to the rom
handling logic, because canoeboot now exists anyway (at
website https://canoeboot.org/) which is my new version
re-implementing the older, inferior version of libreboot
so i'm going to:
1) document this as errata in the release
2) cross reference in the freedom status page
3) if someone still isn't happy, i'll say use canoeboot
job done.

Add a U-Boot build for the qemu_x86_12mb board. The config is a copy of
the upstream "coreboot" defconfig, but with OF_EMBED=y.

github's httpd b0rked the fuck out and i didn't want to wait
for them to fix it (ssl cert error) before i continued a build.
i now host the relevant acpica tarball on libreboot rsync,
mirrored to princeton.

as opposed to the current 3-level structure.
recent build system simplifications have enabled
this change, thus:
./build fw coreboot -> ./build roms
./build fw grub -> ./build grub
./build fw serprog -> ./build serprog
./update project release -> ./update release
./update project trees -> ./update trees
./update vendor download -> ./vendor download
./update vendor inject -> ./vendor inject
alper criticised that the commands were too long,
so i made them shorter!

i previously added this just for kicks, but it's not
actually needed; gnat isn't used on fam15h boards so
lbmk doesn't even use it (it's disabled).
in fact, i tested lbmk with crossgcc_ada handling
taken out, but with said patch; i still got build
errors with gnat anyway, on that old coreboot
revision (but gnat isn't needed there anymore).

We don't really need a custom coreboot tree for Chromebooks. I had added
one, because at a cursory glance to the available config/coreboot/board
subdirectories I had the impression that I should. But upstreams have
one tree for every board and I think we should move towards that too.
Move the one important BL31 makefile patch into the default coreboot
patches, update the gru boards' configs by running savedefconfig in the
cros tree and then running olddefconfig in the default tree.

Riku's mSATA patch for HP8300USDT was merged upstream, so the
patch has been dropped from lbmk because it is contained within
this new coreboot revision.

some users reported build errors. technically, there's
nothing wrong with lbmk but it relies on hostcc, and
hostcc is hit or miss when it comes to cross compiling
32-bit, depending on the build system of whatever project.
lbmk needs to handle cross compilation. for now, i'm just
disabling memtest86plus on non-64-bit hosts.

in the future, we may start downloading files that aren't
blobs, such as mxm port configs (on mainboards that use
MXM graphics)
this directory will contain all of those files
generally change the language used, across lbmk, to make
use of "vendorfile" instead of "blob"

We don't have a directory names "srces", just "src".
Ditto ecs, mrcs <-- it's just ec and mrc
When referring to a file, e.g. blob/t1650/me.bin, that
makes much more sense, because it's a single blob, not
multiple blobs.
Don't pluralise what isn't plural

build/release/src was partly re-written to accomodate this
memtest86plus was patched to have a central Makefile, and
lbmk modified to use that, rather than mess with build32
and build64. the central Makefile just builds both targets
or cleans both targets

target.cfg can now specify e.g.
grub_timeout=20
this would then be inserted as timeout.cfg in cbfs,
containing the instruction:
set timeout=20
HP laptops need a bit of extra time, due to the delay
caused by the EC bug workaround deployed in GRUB
desktops in general need extra time. this too is set to
10s, like the HP laptops.
only insert timeout.cfg if actually needed (declared in
target.cfg), otherwise grub.cfg will default to 5s

now under coreboot mainboards, target.cfg can specify
a background. if not specified, the 1280x800 one is
assumed, and used by default. it can be overridden.
the path should be relative to:
config/grub/background/
