[RFC PATCH v2 0/4] Check if the kernel image has Ultravisor support

[Maxiwell S. Garcia]

Hi,

This patchset enables petitboot to check if the kernel image is
an ultravisor-system compatible. Platform-specific validation is called
from boot_process() and it can be disabled from config UI screen.

I used the name 'preboot check' many times (nvram var, config UI option,
platform-specific check) but maybe better names might be suggested.

Maxiwell S. Garcia (4):
  configure: Add libelf as a requirement
  discover: Add helper functions to read ELF notes
  ui/ncurses: Add preboot check option in the config screen
  discover: Check if the kernel image has Ultravisor support
