Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] Documentation for nova-core

Hello,

Please find attached initial documentation for nova-core mainly about the vbios
and boot process. It helps build an understanding of the boot code. All the
information is derived from publicly available code and sources.

This series is based on Alex's v2 patches + nova-next:
