Does anyone know what the current attitude towards making Linux play nice with coreboot is?
That looks like it is just for the "EFI frame buffer" correct?
Yes.
Why would it have any effect on coreboot?
It wouldn't. The code along with the list of people involved in that commit tells me that many are interested in EFI + Linux.
coreboot is an alternative. I was asking if anyone knew about interest for a stronger bond between coreboot and Linux.
Ah, gotcha...
