in practise, the machines we support don't have
the option of including so many disks; 8 seems like
the most reasonable default. additionally, it's
unreasonable to expect *20 partitions*
this hardcoding is done to avoid using *, which is
slow in grub on some machines (the grub kernel always
re-enumerates the devices during every operation,
without caching any of it)
yet, the hardcoding is also slow; balance it a bit
better by searching fewer permutations, but not so few
that it would likely break a lot of setups

we already supported syslinux but not grub
support grub by scanning for the most common paths,
based on the most popular distros
we don't hardcode this with * because it slows down
the boot, and in practise many distros still use the
same grub.cfg location as in BIOS systems (the EFI
one is often just a link to the BIOS one)

this is a relic from the old days when we didn't
automated the grub.cfg logic as much. these days,
the grub.cfg logic is able to boot almost all distros
without any manual intervention or override.
removing these entries will speed up the boot in general

the path "/boot/EFI" is unnecessary because the ESP
is always a FAT32 partition, so we don't need to
scan it as a subdirectory within a subdirectory.

FAT32, and EFI/ is always at the root of it

Previously, grub_scan_disk could set ata, ahci or "both",
which would make both be tried (ahci first). This worked
when we only dealt with ata and ahci devices, but now we
support nvme devices so the logic is inherently flawed.
Instead, use grub_scan_disk to store the boot order, e.g.:
grub_scan_disk="ahci nvme ata"
grub_scan_disk="nvme ata"
In the first example, it would make GRUB scan ahci first,
then nvme and then ata.
In the secontd example, it would make GRUB scan nvme first,
and then ata.
If "both" is set, or anything other than ahci/ata/nvme,
grub_scan_disk is now changed to "nvme ahci ata".
Actual grub_scan_disk entries in target.cfg files will now
be modified, to match each machine.

Fixes this bug:
https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/issues/216
Well, fix is the wrong word. We want xHCI ideally.
Mate is working on it as I write this. I've also:
* Disabled CONFIG_FINALIZE_USB_ROUTE_XHCI on Haswell
boards (coreboot)
* Disabled the GRUB payload on HP 820 G2 for now
We will need to re-add the xHCI patches once fixed.
If Mate/we can't fix it, I'll contact Patrick
Rudolph who originally wrote the xHCI patches.

Almost all users will be OK running GRUB, but a
minority of users have experienced a fatal error
pertaining to grub_free() or grub_realloc() (as
my investigation of GRUB sources reveal when grepping
the error reported in the link above).
We don't yet know what the bug is, only that the
error occurs, leading to an effective brick if the
user has GRUB as their primary payload.
So far, it has only been reported on some Intel
SandyBridge-based Dell Latitudes in Libreboot, but
we can't be too sure.
The user reported that memtest86+ passes just fine,
and SeaBIOS works; BIOS GRUB also works, which means
that the bug is likely only in an area of GRUB that
runs specifically on the coreboot payload, so it's
probably a driver in GRUB when running on the metal
rather than BIOS/UEFI.
The build system supports a configuration whereby
SeaBIOS is the primary payload, but GRUB is available
in the SeaBIOS boot select menu, and an additional
configuration is available where GRUB is what SeaBIOS
executes first (while still providing boot select);
both of these are now the *only* configurations
available, on all x86 targets except QEMU.
The QEMU target is fine because if the bug occurs there,
you can just close QEMU and try a different image.
Even after this bug is later identified and fixed,
the GRUB source code is vastly over-engineered and there
are likely many more such bugs. SeaBIOS is a reliable
payload; the code is small and robust. Remember always:
Code
equals
bugs
Therefore, this configuration change is likely going
to be permanent. This will apply in the next release.

blobs.list is now nuke.list
this is because i'm going to import this functionality
into lbmk (libreboot build system).
libreboot will not do full deblobbing like canoeboot does,
but there are still certain files that i like to delete
in releases, such as u-boot's strlcat.c file under tests
calling it "nukeblobs" in libreboot makes no sense, but
i like to avoid merge conflicts when cherry-picking
patches between cbmk and lbmk, so i like to make sure
that functions and variables common to both are named
the name.
simply calling it "nuke" or calling the files "nuke.list"
is probably inoffensive while conveying the same meaning.

firstly, memtest86+ is currently not cross compiled and
relies on 64-bit headers (x86_64 only). a 32-bit distro
is unlikely to be able to build 64-bit binaries.
secondly: vboot throws a build error due to -Werror when
building on 32-bit hosts. we rely on vboot code to build
cbfstool, so turn off -Werror on vboot
that's all. 32-bit hosts are not recommended; it is assumed
that you are building on an x86_64 host. work will go into
the build system at a later date to make it more portable,
by cross compiling everything, but this should fix 32-bit
for now.
there are some x60/t60 users who still want to build roms,
so let's allow them that possibility.

The E6400 uses a 100 MHz reference clock on DPLL_REF_SSCLK, whereas
libgfxinit assumed that the reference was always 96 MHz. The frequency
difference caused by a 100 MHz reference with PLL config values
calculated assuming a 96 MHz reference were not significant enough to
cause noticable issues with the more common 1280 x 800 panels, but are
enough to matter for the 1440 x 900 panels which use a higher pixel
clock. This only affected the pre-OS graphics environment provided by
libgfxinit, as Linux drivers would determine the reference clock
frequency based on data in the VBT.
Fix this by making the reference clock frequency in libgfxinit
configurable for GM45 based on a new coreboot Kconfig, which is set to
100 MHz for the E6400.

Same idea as my never-download-microcode patch. Even if a
coreboot config enables blobs, the blobs are not actually
downloaded or inserted or otherwise handled in any way.
This means I can re-use lbmk-based coreboot configs without
as much modification, thus reducing the maintenance burden
for Canoeboot releases.

With other recent changes, and this patch, Canoeboot is now
in sync with Libreboot lbmk, commit:
cd9685d12d2b71a00cb6766bb85f392d4db92c83
This is with updated deblobbing, and Canoeboot's no-microcode
patches, that disable microcode updates universally.
Several patches from lbmk (for coreboot) aren't needed,
due to being for boards that Canoeboot does not use, so
those patches have been somewhat rebased, and configs
adapted, but this is otherwise identical.
As in previous Canoeboot updates, I've turned off this
option in all coreboot configs:
CONFIG_USE_BLOBS
Turning off that option prevents the coreboot build system
from ever attempting to use any blobs, but in practise it
would not have done so anyway, because Canoeboot disables
all handling of microcode in the build system.
