Comment:

 FYI, I'll add a coreinfo module which can display (and scroll through) the
 coreboot "dmesg buffer" as part of GSoC (if I'll get accepted). Actually,
 that code is pretty much finished already and works quite nicely
 (hardcodes the buffer address in RAM though). Will post a patch when GSoC
 officially started.

 I haven't done any work on using it from _Linux_, though.
