Thanks a lot for checking this.
If you find some free time, it would be great if you could test
0xFEC00000 as well. That location is 20 MB below 4GB and the lowest
location inside the DEVICE_MEM_HIGH protection window where coreboot
will not place any device memory regions, so it is free for ROM and CAR.
If that works, we have found a really collision-free window even for the
biggest SPI ROMs.
