Hi, Carl-Daniel.  We chatted at CCC about LinuxBoot servers, which are
somewhere in between.  The design uses the SEC and PEI portions of the
vendor firmware to do CPU and memory bringup, then hands control to a
Linux kernel as a replacement for the DXE phase.

There is an effort to support the Open Compute hardware with the
LinuxBoot firmware, and the newer OCP nodes already come with OpenBMC.
