Changes since 4.10:
Added failsafe mode (press F1 at startup)
Added support for Intel "Sandy Bridge" CPU
Added support for AMD "fusion" CPU
Added Coreboot "table forward" support
Corrected some memory brands not detected properly
Various bug fixes
Package changes:
Move base address to 0x100000, similar to that of the NetBSD/x86 kernel.
Hopefully this will avoid trampling something important in low memory.
This appears to work fine on the limited number of machines I tested.
