I would say bring it in to the repo. We have assembly, we have our own C compiler even, so a higher level language hardly seems a bad idea. If this can make our code base better in some way, why not use it?
Does this mean we can start writing our userland tools in golang?

Did you just kill any discussion with that line? :)
Things live currently in a small library that I called `libsparkhw` (came spontaneously, I don't care much about the name). It contains some framework (Timer, I/O, Debugging) to do hardware stuff in SPARK, plus the mentioned graphics initialization. I falter to push it directly for inclusion into the coreboot repo. Maybe we want a separate reposi- tory for it (like libpayload has)? It would also make it easier to use it in other components (e.g. bootloaders and such, and of course our own products where the code stems from).
We have discussed the licensing and will push this under GPLv2 + later if there are no reasonable concerns.
