commit cce13217ffd5580bc9dfe3396f17f155cbb5f291
Author: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <[e-mail]>
Date:   Fri Jun 21 23:32:19 2013 +0200

    Add a new and safer bootblock implementation.
    
    The drawback is that it requires cooperation
      from something that is run after coreboot
      (like the OS or the payload).
    
    To understand how to use it, refer to the
      Kconfig help of that option.
    
    Thanks a lot to kmalkki on #coreboot Freenode IRC
      channel for pointers on how to simplify the implementation.
