 * Booting Qubes requires patching Xen's real mode startup code
 see `patches/xen-4.6.3.patch` and adding `no-real-mode` to start
 of the Xen command line.  Booting or installing Qubes is a bit hacky and needs to be documented.

+To build for X220 we need to have the following files in this folder:
+me.bin - ME binary that has been stripped and truncated with me_cleaner
+gbe.bin - Network card blob from the original firmware
+ifd.bin - Flash layout file has been provided, layout.txt is also present for changes
+
+To get the binaries, start with a copy of the original lenovo firmware image.
+If you do not have one already, you can read one out from the laptops SPI flash.
+
+flashrom --programmer internal:laptop=force_I_want_a_brick -r original.bin
+
+Once you have the image, run ifdtool -x <bios image> to extract the parts.
+Rename flashregion_3_gbe.bin to gbe.bin
+Run "me_cleaner -r -t -O me.bin flashregion_2_intel_me.bin" to truncate and neuter
+the ME blob.
+
+You can now compile the image with:
