I think libpayload should be updated. I think adding the option to coreboot is a good intermediate step. It will give folks time to update their payloads. I'm also not sure if plan9 (or other less common payloads) will have the proper support.
Seems like Marc has found the reason in the other thread ("timeout during PS/2 keyboard init") - should we get that fixed, I'd prefer to keep the full init in coreboot unconditionally, even if it's 10-20ms.
Could you try with "[PATCH] timeout during PS/2 keyboard init" (http://patchwork.coreboot.org/patch/1891/), if that gives an acceptable boot time for you? (unless I misunderstand and your gripe isn't with the overly long timeout we suffer on some chipsets, but with the time the init takes at all, however tiny)
