this replaces the previous behaviour, which erred
on a specific value of grub_errno, which was a
problem if other types of errors used that value.
due to the way i patch out the prefix error messages,
this new patch ensures that only those errors are
silenced. all other messages will be printed.

it still printed "error: ." on screen, instead
of the prefix message.
now it's silent. it just says:
Welcome to GRUB!

it can annoy some users, so just silence it. we don't need
a lot of modules so we only have a few, but some distro
grub configs can load modules frivilously.

TSEG Stage Cache enabled again, because disabling it
did not affect S3 in any way.
Many configs have changed, and debug level is set to 7.
In testing with V-T60 on IRC, it wasn't just removal of
the DDR2 patch that I did, but I re-did the configs too,
in exactly the same way I've done them here, when testing
on an X200 to fix boot issues.
Libreboot does not use defconfigs, instead it uses full
configs, and these have to be updated. I normally just
run make-oldconfig on every config, for revision updates.
However, every now and then, we need to re-do them.
Play it safe and re-do every config. I've double- and
triple-checked that the configs are correct.

the ddr2 fix broke *ddr3* on gm45 thinkpads in
testing, depending on memory modules. this was
established by removing patches, re-doing
configs etc, on a user's X200 (testing gentoo
and freebsd). the X200 kept randomly rebooting
or having random glitches.
the configs themselves (gm45 thinkpads) will
also be re-done, because i found minor issues
unrelated, but this patch moves dell e6400 to
its own tree. the ddr2 fix is no longer present
in coreboot/default, only coreboot/dell.
i noticed minor differences in gm45 thinkpad
configs, when re-doing the configs, versus
what are currently in lbmk master; for instance,
vbt was not enabled anymore, on thinkpad x200.
modifications to these will be done separately.

The original E6430 patch included the Intel VBT file, but did not
actually enable it in Kconfig. Update the patch to enable it and
update the E6430 configs.
with this, you can just do:
cd src/docs
./build
the html files would then be available for
publishing, if you wish, or you could set up
a local httpd to view them.
if you have pandoc installed, this will build the
markdown files into html
untitled static site generator is what generates
the html files, from the markdown files, on the
website. it will now also be included in releases.

it didn't work in the past, but it does work nowadays;
specifically, it only worked with libgfxinit in the past,
but not on VGA ROMs.
now it does work on VGA ROMs, tested on e6400 and t1650 so
it was enabled there.
in this setup, a special image is provided where SeaBIOS is
the main payload, but it only loads GRUB; nothing else, every.
this is called SeaGRUB. this setup is useful in cases where
the user only has a GPU that lacks libgfxinit support.

this is to ensure alphanumeric sorting, with
capital letters first; and numbers before letters.
we always relied on this, but until now lbmk would
just assume the host is configured this way.
this fixes a longstanding design flaw in lbmk.

it's preferable that the vram setting be as high as

Faulty keyboards make GRUB unusable. Normally it happens
when a user plugs in a faulty USB keyboard, but if it's
the laptop keyboard, then GRUB becomes unusable and the
user cannot boot anything.
So, your laptop keyboard is a ticking timebomb if you use
GRUB; with this patch, that's no longer the case.

My previous fix to revert didn't fix S3 on GM45, one
of the platforms reported fixed by 78263; I'm merging
that instead, at patch set 10.
It is referenced by 78815/1 which was split from it,
so merge that too (restores overrides of higher values,
on certain platforms that we don't use yet).

also, enable seabios_withgrub on e6400, but not grubfirst;
right now, we also support dgpu which would brick on
grubfirst. on my tested nvidia model, loading grub from
seabios worked, so i'm going to re-add seabios_grubfirst
functionality like in older libreboot revisions, enabled
selectively on a given target.
e6430 currently only has igpu support anyway, but i've done
the same thing there, in anticipation of future dgpu support.
e6400 and e6430 ec report scancode set 2 with translation
by default, but only actually output scancode set 1
grub is trying to use scancode set 2 without scancode
translation, so the key inputs get messed up
fix it by forcing scancode set 2 with translation, but
only on coreboot; other build targets on GRUB will
retain the same behaviour as before
courtesy goes to Nicholas Chin who inspired me, and
helped me to fix this. tested on Nicholas's E6400
and E6430, and my E6400; Riku also tested it on
non-Dell, as did I (some thinkpads), and all seems OK.
The new behaviour in coreboot GRUB is essentially no
different to that of SeaBIOS, which does the same.

the patch included in this revision is pulled from:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/54024/2
contrary to hell's assertion of "not for merge", this does
in fact work nicely on a dell e6400; nicholas chin tested
on e6400 and found that those RCOMP values are the same
nicholas was testing some errant modules that seemed to
fail raminit in coreboot. in some cases, dell e6400 would
regularly fail coldboot even though reboot was ok; this was
therefore the cause of suspicioun for it being raminit-related
with this patch from hell (Angel Pons, but knows as hell
on IRC) it should fix boot issue on Dell Latitude E6400

note: me6_update_parser needs to be written, similar
to me7_update_parser, to generate the partition
tables within intel me6 on lenovo bios updates.
the current logic in lbmk goes like this:
mkdir -p vendorfiles/cache/
and save your factory dump as:
vendorfiles/cache/x201_factory.rom
the build system has been modified, in such a way
as to support extracting me.bin (which is the full
one) and then neutering from this.
this is done automatically, if the file is present,
but you must first insert that file there, which means
you'll need a dump of the original boot flash on your
thinkpad x201

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.

it wasn't being copied right
the roms under elf/ were being copied, but not the ones
under bin/ - i need to audit it further
for now, i run modify_coreboot_roms from build/roms
instead of update/trees
so, the ones under elf/ no longer have bootblocks copied.
it's only done in bin/

when building only for u-boot, the current script
works just fine. however, when building for other
payloads in additional to u-boot, the final u-boot
stage fails because other payloads are already
inserted via cbfs.
when we build u-boot, we do that last because we want
u-boot setups to only be u-boot, nothing else.
this patch enables qemu x86 to build properly with
u-boot.
