Hi, I have posted some experimental version year ago. It is quite tricky to get 
it working correctly because coreboot overwrittes lot of memory.

Here is the patch:

Worked for K8T890 and K8 DDR revE

Here is described in the steps what needs to be done:

Problem is that you need to setup again some devices which are not setup by OS. 
Like memory controller DDR and chipset low level stuff.

ACPI allows to wakeup in state like fresh boot, therefore I just let coreboot 
run again and then jump not to payload but to previously saved waking vector.

Problem only is not to overwrite the memory. I solved that by instructing the 
kernel not to use the low memory at all. Except one page for the trampoline code 
from your mail.

There is reset vector in some DSDT table. Check mine original patch.

For which chipset/processor are you planning that?
