As shipped, H2C only loads the option ROM for the built-in video, and that
only when it needs display the BIOS warning screens.
By setting a flag in the GBB, you can allow all option ROMs to be loaded:
Note that we'll never enable this ourselves (and there's a factory test to
ensure that*) because it executes non-verified code. But if a customer wants
to void their warranty and set this flag in the read-only flash so they can
install and use other PCI devices, they should be able to do so.
BUG=chrome-os-partner:6148
TEST=none
The only way to test this is to use a BIOS that was compiled with serial
debugging enabled, so there's nothing for QA to do. If you have such a BIOS,
you can see the difference like so:
flashrom -r oldbios.bin
gbb_utility -s --flags=2 oldbios.bin newbios.bin
flashrom -w newbios.bin
<reboot>
When bit 1 of the GBB flags is 0, you'll see these lines in the serial
output:
LoadOpRomImage-->GetSystemConfigurationTable Status = Success
LoadOpRomImage-->GetH2cBootMode Status = Success
When bit 1 of the GBB flags is 1, you'll see these lines in the serial
output:
LoadOpRomImage-->GetSystemConfigurationTable Status = Success
LoadOpRomImage-->GetH2cBootMode Status = Success
LoadOpRomImage-->PCI OpRom on 1.0.0 is allowed!!!
This happens in any boot mode (normal, developer, recovery).

Pressing Tab at a firmware screen now displays real data, including
the recovery reason, HWID, and contents of VbNvStorage.
Entry point start/end time tracking in VbSharedData now refers to the
new wrapper APIs.
Added capability for calling firmware to request recovery mode (for
example, if it's unable to initialize RAM, can't find the SSD, etc.).
Previously, calling firmware had no (good) way to do this other than
faking the recovery button being pressed.
