I think there is some code in the tree which will generate ACPI tables
almost automatically. IIRC Rudolf Marek was working on that.

That would be great! Coreboot v3 is a lot easier to understand and its
boot messages are mostly self-explaining. The qemu target should work
just fine.

For anyone starting to work with v3, I have to ask you to write down any
questions arising from unclear boot messages or badly
commented/explained code. I hope the v3 codebase has none of these
problems, but I have worked with that codebase for too long to be able
to analyze it from an outsider's point of view.
