We already have a working multiboot implementation that uses fw_cfg to get
its kernel module etc. data in int19 runtime now.
So what's missing is a working linux boot option rom. While at it I figured it
would be a good idea to take the opcode generator out of pc.c and instead use
a proper option rom, like we do with multiboot.
So here it is - an fw_cfg using option rom for -kernel with linux!

We will have a linux boot option rom soon, so let's take all functionality
that might be useful for both to a header file that both roms can include.
That way we only have to write fw_cfg access code once.

Right now we load the guest kernel to RAM, fire off the BIOS, hope it
doesn't clobber memory and run an option rom that jumps into the kernel.
That breaks with SeaBIOS, as that clears memory. So let's read all
kernel, module etc. data using the fw_cfg interface when in the int19
handler.
This patch implements said mechanism for multiboot.

That patch didn't seem to help on OpenBSD so I now finally got around
making another one that just emits the bytes of the offending insn
instead so people can keep using old assemblers:

cc-option uses more make-syntax to replace the shell "if/else".
Issue with recursive += is fixed by doing the first assignment

With cc-option we are testing if gcc just accept a particular option, we don't need CFLAGS at all. And this fixes the recursive problem with CFLAGS

Now we have to variables: QEMU_CFLAGS: flags without which we can't compile
CFLAGS: "-g -O2"
We can now run:
make CFLAGS="-fbar" foo.o
make CFLAGS="" foo.o
make CFLAGS="-O3" foo.o
And it all should work.

Message-Id:
The printf command takes an octal value after \, so we have to convert
our decimal representation to octal first and then write it.
This unbreaks extboot signing. Multiboot wasn't affected yet because
the checksum was < 8.

In order to not execute code we just compiled, let's replace signrom
with a shell script that does the same thing while staying compatible
to pretty much every system available.
This should make cross-compilation for windows easier.

In order to build the multiboot option rom, we need a Makefile and a tool
to sign the rom with.
Both are provided by this patch and mostly taken from the extboot source,
written by Anthony Liguori.
Once built, the resulting binary gets copied to pc-bios automatically.
Building also occurs automatically when on an x86 host.

This patch implements support for Multiboot on x86 for -kernel.
Multiboot is a "new" approach to get rid of different bootloaders, providing
a unified interface for the kernel. It supports command line options and
kernel modules.
The two probably best known projects using multiboot are Xen and GNU Hurd.
This implementation should be mostly feature-complete. It is missing VBE
extensions, but as no system uses them currently it does not really hurt.
To use multiboot, specify the kernel as -kernel option. Modules should be given
as -initrd options, seperated by a comma (,). -append also works.
Please bear in mind that grub also does gzip decompression, which qemu does
not do yet. To run existing images, please ungzip them first.
The guest multiboot loader code is implemented as option rom using int 19.
Parts of the work are based on efforts by Rene Rebe, who originally ported
my code to int 19.
