Mark Cave-Ayland da87dd7bd7 sun4m: Add FCode ROM for TCX framebuffer
Upstream OpenBIOS now implements SBus probing in order to determine the
contents of a physical bus slot, which is required to allow OpenBIOS to
identify the framebuffer without help from the fw_cfg interface.

SBus probing works by detecting the presence of an FCode program
(effectively tokenised Forth) at the base address of each slot, and if
present executes it so that it creates its own device node in the
OpenBIOS device tree.

The FCode ROM is generated as part of the OpenBIOS build and should
generally be updated at the same time.

- SeaBIOS (bios.bin) is the successor of pc bios.
See http://www.seabios.org/ for more information.
- The VGA BIOS and the Cirrus VGA BIOS come from the LGPL VGA bios
project (http://www.nongnu.org/vgabios/).
- The PowerPC Open Hack'Ware Open Firmware Compatible BIOS is
available at http://perso.magic.fr/l_indien/OpenHackWare/index.htm.
- OpenBIOS (http://www.openbios.org/) is a free (GPL v2) portable
firmware implementation. The goal is to implement a 100% IEEE
1275-1994 (referred to as Open Firmware) compliant firmware.
The included images for PowerPC (for 32 and 64 bit PPC CPUs),
Sparc32 (including QEMU,tcx.bin) and Sparc64 are built from OpenBIOS SVN
revision 1229.
- SLOF (Slimline Open Firmware) is a free IEEE 1275 Open Firmware
implementation for certain IBM POWER hardware. The sources are at
https://github.com/aik/SLOF, and the image currently in qemu is
built from git tag qemu-slof-20131015.
- sgabios (the Serial Graphics Adapter option ROM) provides a means for
legacy x86 software to communicate with an attached serial console as
if a video card were attached. The master sources reside in a subversion
repository at http://sgabios.googlecode.com/svn/trunk. A git mirror is
available at git://git.qemu-project.org/sgabios.git.
- The PXE roms come from the iPXE project. Built with BANNER_TIME 0.
Sources available at http://ipxe.org. Vendor:Device ID -> ROM mapping:
8086:100e -> pxe-e1000.rom
8086:1209 -> pxe-eepro100.rom
1050:0940 -> pxe-ne2k_pci.rom
1022:2000 -> pxe-pcnet.rom

1af4:1000 -> pxe-virtio.rom
- The S390 zipl loader is an addition to the official IBM s390-tools
package. That fork is maintained in its own git repository at:
git://repo.or.cz/s390-tools.git
- The sources for the Alpha palcode image is available from:
