Could we have a sane discussion about why it's not suitable
IMO it's a clusterfuck as far as usability is concerned for one. But this isn't the GRUB mailing list, so actually it's wholly inappropriate to discuss GRUB any further here. If someone wants to continue discussing with Vladimir please do so off list.
The thing is that coreboot is useless without some kind of payload. The bigggest part of effort of making coreboot-based firmware work on Loongson is porting the payload as the job of coreboot on this platform is reduced to mere 1000-2000 lines. At this the payload could simply be linked with fwstart.S and I was going to propose sharing this code with the other payload if other payload is willing to port and maintain Loongson. But for this I need the answers to questions I asked and everybody avoids answering.
