coreboot very much intentionally does not limit what can be used as
payload. Any bare metal program can be used as payload.
Thus, Depthcharge indeed *is* a possible payload, it is just not
mentioned in Kconfig.
It was maybe a mistake to offer this automation near the choice of payload,
creating an impression that a few payloads are somehow better than others.

It would be good to know why this happens. Is config.veyron used
elsewhere? Is there both a veyron and a veyron_speedy board? Was the
board renamed in coreboot but this file (in libpayload) overlooked?

The second part with the board name looks like a bug, but I don't
know what the appropriate fix is. That requires studying coreboot and
libpayload repos a bit before creating a patch.
If you want, you can of course also push a patch to Gerrit to add
Depthcharge to the list of payloads.

Hi all,
Later I noticed that it is reported from #coreboot that linux needs
"acpi=noirq" to boot properly
