The point would be to show how coreboot can support a single board which has been populated with different soldered-on RAM chips.
OK, good point; let's do that with a board people can buy, not a one-off engineering sample with DRAM parts known to be buggy.
I think this would be useful to have, but on the other hand it may not be so difficult to add for the next board which needs it, and it might rot a little if only in a board noone really uses with coreboot anymore.
it's rotted completely. Plus, it was making trouble for the guys doing GX2 work. Hence I am glad it's going away.
If you want to do a board with soldered on ram then use the XO-1.5 board rather than the XO-1 board. Its vx855 based so it won't mess up any GX2 people. XO-1.5 boards are in production and in the wild. If someone wants one then you can fill out an app on the contributors program and we send you one.

The cots people do this by making a fake SPD device and plugging in the necessary data. That way you don't have to restructure the code too much.
