[coreboot] Neither seaBIOS or GRUB payloads are able to boot gentoo [amd_pmu_init performance counters freeze] [KGPE-D16]

[ron minnich]

A little word of caution: seeing a problem with coreboot and  a given
distro has proven, in the past, to not always be a coreboot problem. I'd
say it more frequently uncovers a kernel problem than a coreboot problem,
but I have only my limited memory and no statistics.
