But I intend to have a coreboot which is able to run the linux kernel without special parameters, is that a realistic goal to aim for ?
I think so.
An area where I need something explained (that I didn't found in the wiki) is: what would be required to have ACPI working ?
Couldn't we extract the tables from legacy BIOS and use them within coreboot, if we don't stuff them in svn we should be fine.
No, you would be fine, noone else. We can't redistribute ACPI tables from the factory BIOS. And a coreboot using them could probably be argued to be a derivative work of the factory BIOS, and that is not so good from a licensing perspective.
