I must get another alix.
The more I have thought about this, the more I think that this effort is key to proving (and improving) the stability and versatility of coreboot-v3.
Certainly usability as well.
I like it a lot. It's what we (I at least) envisioned when starting on LAR in Hamburg. I can feel it coming to reality. :)
SELF nicely eliminates all those ELF segments in LARs!
..but wouldn't it be good to explicitly use 64-bit types?
PS: I very nearly called it 'corechooser' as a joke, but I think that would have caused Peter to track me down and hunt me for sport.
Close call, on another day I might not have acted on the impulse to call for some new names. Bayou isn't so explaining but still massively better than corechooser IMO. :)

I can't help but think this is cute. There won't be enough types to run out of names, it can help, and it's sort-of an easter egg. :p
All thumbs up from me.
