Log Message:
Update to 2.8. Changes since 2.6:
o Eric Biederman reworked the build process making it far simpler and also
  to produce a network bootable ELF image.
o Re-wrote the memory and cache speed detection code.  Previuosly the
  reported numbers were inaccurate for intel CPU's and completely wrong
  for Athlon/Duron CPU's.
o By default the serial console is disabled since this was slowing
  down testing.
o Added CPU detection for Pentium 4.
o Expanded workaround for errors caused by BIOS USB keyboard support to
  include test #5.
o Re-worked L1 / L2 cache detection code to provide clearer reporting.
o Fixed an obvious bug in the computation of cache and memory speeds.
o Changed on-line menu to stay in the menu between option selections.
o Fixed bugs in the test restart and redraw code.
o Adjusted code size to fix compilation problems with RedHat 7.1.
o Misc updates to the documentation.
