Instead of attempting (and failing) to achieve universal support I would rather see a framework that could easily be configured with the appropriate SIO support and allow for board specific configuration if necessary. This should remove a lot of the complexity that gives very little advantage in trying for universal support. coreboot is built as hardware specific and I see no reason why the panic room support should not be the same. Choosing the SIO support to configure for the panic room can be easily done from the output of superiotool. Additionally if it was done in such a way that the serial transport could be easily replaced by USB debug instead then we could really have something that would be useful for new boards.
