Standard passage provides for a bloblist to be passed from one firmware
phase to the next. That can be used to pass the devicetree along as well.
Add an option to support this.
Tests for this will be added as part of the Universal Payload work.

Title underlines should match the length of the title. Unfortunately
docutils only catches underlines that are too short.
Add some missing empty lines after titles.

Add 'Integration with IDEs' chapter.
For now, this chapter is mostly a reference to the documentation of
gen_compile_commands, in doc/build, but it can be futurely used as
a guide for other IDE-friendly features.

Rename this so that SPL is first, as per U-Boot convention. Also add
PAYLOAD_ since this is where in memory the parameters for the payload
have been stored.

Standard boot has been in place for a while now. Quite a few problems
have been found and fixed. It seems like a good time to mark the
script-based approach as deprecated and encourage people to use standard
boot.
Update the DISTRO_DEFAULTS Kconfig to encourage people to move to
standard boot, which is able to boot Linux distributions automatically.
Add a short migration guide to make this easier.

The existing distro scripts check extlinux and scripts before EFI. Adjust

Add some documentation, mentioning that this order will likely change in
future.

Some bootmeths support scanning a partition without a filesystem on it.
Add a flag to support this.
This will allow the ChromiumOS bootmeth to find kernel partition, which

Add a command to write cedit settings to CMOS RAM so that it can be
preserved across a reboot. This uses a simple bit-encoding, where each

This is mentioned in passing in the 'cedit' command. Its file format is

The usage of proftool in docs is incorrect. If proftool is used without
'-o' argument, it will show the usage like following
$ ./sandbox/tools/proftool -m sandbox/System.map -t trace -f funcgraph dump-ftrace >trace.dat
Must provide trace data, System.map file and output file
Usage: proftool [-cmtv] <cmd> <profdata>
Change '>' to '-o' to fix it.
