[coreboot] GSOC submission

[Arthur Heymans]

Hi

It has been a few years since coreboot (or flashrom) applied for Google
Summer Of Code. In 2019 the applications for organizations open on
january 2019 and student applications on March 25.

I think it would be great if the coreboot project could apply in 2019,
as doing so has been very valuable for the project in the past.

I don't really know the full set of requirements and procedures, but I
think it could be worthwhile to start thinking about project ideas.

A few ideas were already suggested on IRC on freenode #coreboot:
- 64bit x86 ramstage (hard)
- documented microcode update methods and write a tool that generates a
webpage which microcodes are included in coreboot (easy)
- nvidea optimus support (medium)
- QEMU power9 support / initial openpower support (hard I guess?)
- Rework device resource allocation to support 64bit BAR (relatively
hard)

Any ideas or suggestions?

Kind regards

Arthur Heymans
