startup sync logic rework for the new PWON button boot scheme
Previously we added logic to the MMI task to hold off PEI init until
R2D is running, and then extended that condition to wait for FCHG
init too. However, the dependencies of MMI upon R2D and FCHG don't
start until mmiInit(), and that call is driven by Switch_ON() code,
hence the wait for R2D and FCHG init can be made in that code path
instead of the MMI task. Furthermore, with our new way of signaling
PWON button boot to MMI, we need a new wait to ensure that the MMI
task is up - previously this assurance was provided by the wait for
Kp pointers to be set.
Solution: revert our previous PEI init hold-off additions to MMI,
add a new flag indicating MMI task init done, and put the combined
wait for all needed conditions into our new PWON button boot code
in power.c.

State of blobs in FreeCalypso firmware ====================================== FC Tourmaline is almost completely deblobbed. Only the following very small components exist in the form of blobs (prebuilt binary objects for which we have no exact corresponding source) in the standard Tourmaline build: * OSL and OSX glue components of GPF: 14992 bytes of code * TMS470 compiler's RTS library (libc/libgcc equivalent): 13152 bytes of code For OSL and OSX we do have reconstructed C code written based on disassembly of the blobs, but I (Mother Mychaela) do not consider the current state of this C reconstruction to be fit for production use - hence standard Tourmaline fw builds use blob versions of these components. However, our configuration and build system gives you the freedom to select which version of each component you would rather use; the selection is made with Bourne shell config variables on the configure.sh invokation line: OSL=0 use the blob version of OSL OSL=1 use the reconstructed C version of OSL OSX=0 use the blob version of OSX OSX=1 use the reconstructed C version of OSX The current default is OSL=0 and OSX=0. RTS library =========== We do have source code for some versions of the TMS470 compiler's RTS library, but they may not be exactly corresponding to the blob version from TCS211 which we are using. This area is deemed to be such a low priority that no real investigation has been done yet.
