Why would it have any effect on coreboot?
It wouldn't. The code along with the list of people involved in that commit tells me that many are interested in EFI + Linux.
Just because someone is on the Cc list does not necessarily mean they're interested.
coreboot is an alternative. I was asking if anyone knew about interest for a stronger bond between coreboot and Linux.
It is not. Coreboot is an alternative to intel's "platform initialisation", which they propose _along_ with EFI. Coreboot + EFI + Linux? Why not, once it's all open source. OTOH, Coreboot + filo + Linux will always outperform it 8-)
