[coreboot] [Mohon Peak] Console output on external UARTs behind PCIe

Hello everybody,

Do you think that it would be possible to output the console messages 
from coreboot (seabios) on another UART port (strapped to be visible on 
Memory-based space or IO Space) connected on a PCIe slot ?

I've purchased a StarTech UART board with an OXPCIe952 chip, with the 
same IDs as visible in ./src/drivers/uart/oxpcie.c.

On 
http://www.coreboot.org/Serial_console#PCIe.2FMini_PCIe_based_serial_cards, 
what is behind the sentence:
"In order to use the card for romstage debugging, minimal setup of the 
PCIe bridge and the MPEX2S952 have to be added to romstage.c" ?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Patrick Agrain
