[coreboot] Request for Intel Haswell info

[ron minnich]

As always, when doing a new board, get a system that is known to work with
coreboot and has your chipset in it. You should get several (never just
one!) of the haswell chromebooks, build coreboot, make sure you can make it
all work, then try the port to your board.
