The following set of 10 patches unify piggyback for
sparc32 and sparc64.
This has the side effect that we fix a longstanding bug in
sparc64 so we can now generate tftpboot.img on a x86 box.
The patch is test on a sparc32 system where I got a
ext2 image mounted and working.
On sparc64 I managed to boot a kernel on my Sun Blade 100
but the kernel stopped with a message:
"console [tty0] enabled, bootconsole disabled"
So I did not reach the point where it try to mount
the appended image.
Any hints what is wrong is appreciated!
[I guess I have the wrong framebuffer driver - but I do not know which is the right one]
This was anyway enough that I have concluded that it works
better than before.
I have only tested this using my x86 build host.
Changes since v1:
- Updated copyrights (from from Josip Rodin)
- Fixed algorithm to locate "HdrS" (from Josip Rodin)
- Verified the endian fixes (based on code received from Julian Calaby)
Please apply.
