we need a better way of matching cmos data with the options table.

Why?


nvramtool can ask user for a decision.

coreboot can more easily ignore invalid data.

I like validation.

Sorry, I think I completely lost you.

What's wrong with our way of handling nvram again? And what's the context of your statements above?

Afaict:
- coreboot does validate the nvram before using it.
- coreboot should not try to use nvram if it is not valid.
- nvramtool never _asks_ the user. It's not an interactive tool. Instead it will fix checksums as soon as you start setting options.
