7bea527160 x86: Update README to explain booting Ubuntu on Minnowmax
The steps required to boot a Linux distribution from U-Boot on x86 are not
very complicated, but it is a good idea to have these written down in an
accessible place.

Document how to examine the boot media from U-Boot, how to load a kernel,
load a ramdisk, set the kernel boot arguments and start the kernel. With
these instructions Ubuntu boots mostly normally on Minnowmax.

Note that the TSC timer does not operate correctly and gives warnings in
the boot log. I expect that ACPI support will solve this.

df898678ab x86: Add binary blob checksums for Minnowboard MAX
To try to reduce the pain of confusion of binary blobs, add MD5 checksums
for the current versions. This may worsen the situation as new versions
appear, but it should still be possible to obtain these versions, and thus
get a working setup.

786a08e0dd x86: Move VGA option rom macros to Kconfig
Move X86_OPTION_ROM_FILE & X86_OPTION_ROM_ADDR to arch/x86/Kconfig
and rename them to VGA_BIOS_FILE & VGA_BIOS_ADDR which depend on
HAVE_VGA_BIOS. The new names are consistent with other x86 binary
blob options like HAVE_FSP/FSP_FILE/FSP_ADDR.

683b09d783 x86: qemu: Create separate i440fx and q35 device trees
Although the two qemu-x86 targets (i440fx and q35) share a lot in
common, they still have something that cannot easily handled in one
single device tree). Split to create two dedicated device tree files
and make the i440fx be the default build target.

The FSP release version 001 for Intel Queensbay has a bug which
could cause random endless loop during the FspInit call. This bug
was published by Intel although Intel did not describe any details.
Describe this information in the x86 doc so that U-Boot Queensbay
support is invulnerable.

3a1a18ff18 x86: Add support for Intel Minnowboard Max
This is a relatively low-cost x86 board in a small form factor. The main
peripherals are uSD, USB, HDMI, Ethernet and SATA. It uses an Atom 3800
series CPU. So far only the dual core 2GB variant is supported.

This uses the existing FSP support. Binary blobs are required to make this
board work. The microcode update is included as a patch (all 3000 lines of
it).
