Hm. I think I recall discussion about multiple "payloads" in a lar.

I am very hesitant.

As was hinted to, it's not possible to guarantee all state so best
not try. With returning comes administration, I much prefer going
for the strictly linear execution flow.

The way I could like it is if it's all done by a separate payload,
that sets up an environment and can run many other programs.

I don't like coreboot doing it.

Think kernel vs /sbin/init
