Well, to bring this even further back on topic, it's an open secret that
the POWER8/POWER9 IPL process is rather bloated.  It's all open, but
bloated.

I'd love to see a coreboot port done in earnest to POWER9.  We have all
the information we need to do it, just need buy-in from serious
developers.  Might even be some free hardware in it for interested
people....
