One release goal was to have pending patches committed. Especially with
the board enables, I am needing reviews to commit them, or we soften the
rules for board enable commits even further.

The tested/not tested state is about
http://patchwork.coreboot.org/patch/988/ which could use a review too. I
know it's already bitrotted (doesn't apply anymore) after I committed
the VL400 board enable.

No two BIOS chips on board.

Ack: received privately after flashing succeeded, before reboot.
Plan: Commit in "not tested" state, using the Ack received in private
mail. I can bounce the Ack mail to the list if you like.

Uwe wanted to take a look at 948
flashrom/lspci/superiotool: http://coreboot.pastebin.com/f5f25f1cf
Ack: no formal ACK. The user doesn't like to have real name / email
address in the flashrom log.
Plan: Commit in "tested" state. Ack by some developer needed per signoff
procedure. Waiting for Uwe's Ack on 948.

Ack: pinged user again. Last ping request got only to the flashrom list,
forgot to Cc: the user.
Plan: Wait some days for an Ack, commit in "tested" state.

Ack: None, as the patch doesn't work.
Plan: Unsure, because "broken" is not an option, only tested/not tested.
