[coreboot] Server systems shipped with coreboot

[Alberto Bursi]

I was writing within context of this mail thread.

This mail "thread" is about Coreboot on server systems, and no major 
manufacturer I know of, apart from IBM and the board from Raptor 
Engineering ever used Coreboot on server systems, so yeah, on server 
boards it is nearly always retrofitted by the end user or some third 
party that resells it.
