Comment(by hailfinger):
Peter, the LAR patch will be difficult unless you're willing to put the ID in the top boot block.
The trick is to have both a generic coreboot marker and the ID strings in a place that's always mapped. That way, we can apply board-specific ROM enable or readout functions automatically. Other ways lead to disaster and madness.
