If I had more flash, I would like that too, just for kicks.

With the amount of flash we have, sharing the kernel and initrd doesn't seem like a bad idea.

If the cmdline for the normal mode can be modified easily by updating the cbfs with flashrom, I don't see any drawback to using kexec from the shared kernel

In my ideal scenario, coreboot would have the 2 images (normal, fallback) both starting the same payload (a minimal linux kernel) to save space.

at Los Alamos we found we wanted a fallback kernel and initramfs too.

But YMMV.

But your overall picture is much like what we had at Los Alamos and it works really well.
