Description:
This module makes it possible to fetch the firmware log from memory and show it in /sys/firmware/log. coreboot is an Open Source project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers and has the ability to store its logs in an in memory database. Additional info: These are the Kconfig options needed to build this module CONFIG_GOOGLE_FIRMWARE=y CONFIG_GOOGLE_COREBOOT_TABLE_ACPI=m CONFIG_GOOGLE_MEMCONSOLE_COREBOOT=m It would be nice if this could be included by default on Arch Linux, as they are quite handy for coreboot users and developers. |

This is used on all google chromebooks and chromeboxes, so this
feature is quite useful when running Arch Linux on those.
After two years now, the situation seems a little more critical.
Users all over the world boot with `iomem=relaxed` now, to work
around the lack of kernel support. I'd suggest to bump the
severity to maximum, hence.
