Wtf?

Do you really want to get rid of dynamically being able to set the FB 
size?

Why?

Don't you think that this is a feature that regular users of probably 
the only fully implemented coreboot motherboards might actually want to 
touch?

Why is no time being spent on removing the other options that actually 
harm booting this device? Why does this feel like more pointless 
pedanticity?
