Gabe Black 30820605f0 ARM: Fix the way the space for the page tables is allocated.
The page tables need to be aligned to a 16KB boundary and are 16KB in size.
The CBMEM allocator only guarantees 512 byte alignment, so to make sure
things are where they're supposed to be, the code was allocating extra space
and then adjusting the pointer upwards. Unfortunately, it was adding the size
of the table to the pointer first, then aligning it. Since it allocated twice
the space of the table, this had the effect of moving past the first table
size region of bytes, and then aligning upwards, pushing the end of the table
out of the space allocated for it.

You can get away with this if you push things you don't care about off the
end, and it happened to be the case that we were allocating a color map we
weren't using at the start of the next part of cbmem.

BUG=None
TEST=Built and booted on Snow

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:
