this is probably not safe, and neither is the current
fall back code which is being removed from master.
i already finished it before testing, but after realising
the above, so i'll just stash it in this branch for now.

lvm/* is slow to resolve in grub, on some machines,
because grub enumeration is very slow in general.
however, many people will install distros with any
number of lvm configurations, so we should try to
support them.

This reverts commit 20389655e4.
If the user actually has encryption, but has /boot unencrypted,
this will considerably slow down the boot, so the patch has
been reverted.
The patch was originally meant to favour encrypted /boot
setups, but the old behaviour also still works there.
when the user sets up an encrypted machine, grub.cfg
defaults to non-encrypted setups if found, first
this patch reverses the order, deferring to
non-encrypted installations only when encrypted ones
are unavailable

install libfreetype-dev, instead of libfreetype6-dev
this still works in debian stable (currently 12.2) but
fixes debian sid, as of 15 November 2023. my test machine
with debian sid could not install libfreetype6-dev, but
could install libfreetype-dev

apparently some people use fat file systems for /boot
on linux systems
this is apparently a thing
it's ridiculous, but also a thing
a user reported they could not boot their t400 because
of those, because they have such a distro installed
on their machine
apparently it was a gentoo user
i don't really care. re-add 1980s dos file system support.

Fix a few issues with the E6430 configs to make it consistent with
configs for other boards and function as intended.
- Add VBT to CBFS: Although the VBT was enabled at the board level
Kconfig in a previous commit (CONFIG_INTEL_GMA_HAVE_VBT), the config
to actually add the VBT to CBFS was still unset.
- Enable the static option table: The old config would always use the
fallback values hard coded in the coreboot tree, rather than the
settings in the cmos.default file
- Enable DRAM clear on boot: This was not set previously, even though
most other boards set this for security.

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.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
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.
