If software such as Splashtop and HyperSpace are based on the linux
kernel, to what extent does that help Free Software and coreboot?
Specifically, if a given set of hardware can support a proprietary
instant-on system, to what extent will their kernel diffs enable
coreboot and the linux kernel to run with at least the same level of
functionality on that set of hardware?
