Below are some of the comments I got from Andrew after sending this patch to him (I had also sent it to linux-geode which he's not apparently on, even though he's the upstream merge-master for it).
Here are his comments.
Most of them I can apply... A few of them I'm not so sure about. I was hoping to keep the version in the linux kernel in close sync with the one in coreboot's repository, if only to make it easier to apply patches to both.
What are the feelings of Patrick, Sven, Steven, etc?

Perhaps. But I'm not on the linux-geode list (few people are!) and I
don't like to merge privately-sent patches.
So please do a full resend, ccing myself and linux-kernel and then
we'll see what happens.
mini-review follows:

Given that it was taken from coreboot, are you sure that we have all
the signed-off-by:s? It seems that you're the primary/sole author so I
guess "yes".
The changelog is way too terse. I don't actually know what coreboot
*is*, and if you don't tell me, who will?
What does the code do? How does it work? What interfaces does it
offer and how does client code use them? etc.
Should there be an associated documentation file?
None of the exported interfaces are documented at all. This makes
review harder and less effective and makes the code harder and less
reliable to use.

If at all possible, these should be implemented as (lower-cased) C
functions, not as macros. Because
- for some reason, people are more likely to document functions than
macros.
- C functions provide argument typechecking
- C functions are more readable
- C functions can prevent unused-var warnings in obscure situations
- C functions don't cause bugs when called using an expression with
side-effects. The above macros are in fact buggy if called with, for
example, UNPACK_CB64(*foo++).
- C functions don't need vast amounts of parenthesis around argumetns
to prevent compilation errors. UNPACK_CB64() lacks these, for example.

I think this file needs to go away altogether. In the kernel we don't
like "#include <everything.h>" header files. Just explicitly list all
the needed includes directly, within each and every .c file. Nice and
simple.
The ipchksum() macros hould be removed - jsut edit the code to call
ip_compute_csum().
Is ip_compute_csum() available without CONFIG_NET? Seems to be "yes"
for x86, I don't know if that's true for other architectures, should
they developer coreboot support.

The _t should only be used in rare circumstances, for typedefs. This
should be "struct sysinfo". But we already have one of those. I'd
suggest a rename to "struct coreboot_sysinfo".

All globally exported symbols from code such as this should identify
what subsystem they belong to. So all these things should start with
"coreboot_", please.
Or "payload". This subsystem seems to have two main identifiers:
coreboot and payload. This is confusing. I prefer "coreboot", because
"payload" is terribly vague and could refer to anything at all. Looky:
z:/usr/src/linux-3.1-rc2> grep -r payload . | wc -l
5368
How do you distinguish this subsystem from all that?
