Pauline,

Good catch.

Anthony, what is the reason for extboot not being upstream?

Paul Brook nacked it.
He didn't like that it was so x86 specific. I think a better approach that would be mergable is something based on the FW config interface with the driver code living as a patch to the Bochs BIOS.

By hooking the int13 code in the Bochs BIOS directly, we'd probably avoid 99% of the bugs we've encountered with extboot implementing int13 functionality too so I think it's a good idea.
