 Skiboot 5.1-beta1 contains all fixes from skiboot-5.0 stable branch up to
 skiboot-5.0.5.
 
+New features
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
 Over skiboot-5.0, the following features have been added:
-- Centaur i2c support
-- Add Naples chip (CPU, PHB, LPC serial interrupts) support
-- Added qemu platform
-- improvements to FSI error handling
-- improvements in chip TOD failover (some only on FSP systems)
-- Set Relative Priority Register (RPR) to recommended value
-  - this affects thread priority in SMT modes
-- greatly reduce memory consumption by CPU stacks for non-present CPUs
-  - Previously we would reserve enough memory for max PIR for each CPU
-    type.
-  - This fix frees up 77MB of RAM on a typical P8 system.
-- increased OPAL API documentation
-- Asynchronous preloading of resources from FSP/flash
-  - improves boot time on some systems
-- Basic Garrison platform support
-- Add Mambo platform (P8 Functional Simulator, systemsim)
-  - includes fake NVRAM, RTC
-- Support building with GCOV, increasing memory for skiboot binary to 2MB
-  - includes boot code coverage testing
-- Increased skiboot HEAP size.
-  - We are not aware of any system where you would run out, but on large

-- Increase PHB3 timeout for electrical links coming up to 2 seconds.
-  - fixes issues with some Mellanox cards
-- Hang in opal_reinit_cpus() that could prevent kdump from functioning
-- PHB3: fix crash in phb3_init
