Gabe Black d7ddcf262a nyan: Create kconfig variables for each SDRAM config.
Instead of choosing between SDRAM configurations for rev0 nyans and everything
else (currently only rev1), we should create a kconfig for each possible config
and put them inside a "choice" block. That way we can have an arbitrarily large
number of choices without them getting to be hard to manage or accidentally not
being mutually exclusive. This also makes the choice of SDRAM config more
explicit instead of it being implied by what rev you're compiled for.

One tradeoff of this approach is that you need to know which config goes with
which rev. Unfortunately we can't decide using the board ID like we can for
most other things because the BCT is consumed by code we don't control before
any of our own code runs.

We default to the slower config for safety's sake, because it will work on
both boards, and because it's the right config for the norrin which we were
going to transition to soon anyway.

Also, we can eliminate the NYAN_IN_A_PIXEL kconfig variable. Alas, we hardly
knew ye.

BUG=None
TEST=Built and booted on both types of nyan.
BRANCH=None

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:

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
