[Linaro-acpi] ACPI Kernel and Foundation Model

Hi,

I checked this out in preperation for Connect as we know from experience that getting a network connection is pot luck normally.

The ACPI kernel we generate will boot with the Foundation model.

Download the Linaro 14.01 release from here :- http://releases.linaro.org/14.01/openembedded/aarch64

The you can start the Foundation model with the following commandline

Foundation_v8pkg/models/Linux64_GCC-4.1/Foundation_v8 --cores=4 --visualization --no-secure-memory --data=bl1.bin@0x0 --data=uefi_fvp-base.bin@0x8000000 --block-device=<YOUR ROOT FILESYSTEM IMAGE> --gicv3 --network=nat

You will get a few errors as AMBA bus does not actually exist on Foundation model. But these are harmless.

Further details are in the release notes from Linaro.
