I read it through and I liked it.

A quick suggestion would be this:
Or store a 32 bit CRC in NVRAM, calculated from a canonicalized form of the cmos.layout contents.
Yeah, that would be a good solution for checking the validity too.
Versioning is nice - but do we need it? I think this nvram stuff is the most infrequent changing part of all of coreboot.
To be absolutely honest, i was just spewing some thoughts, my itch is scratched with this patch, i have what i needed for my board, and i see it less likely that i will implement this than that i will fix up the TODOs in vga_console.c :)
