[coreboot] Gigabyte GA AMD E350N USB3 Board

[Tom Sylla]

Hi Marek,

I do own this board, and it is probably one of the more painful to get
ported. There is no SPI header, no serial port, and it has the
gigabyte dual-BIOS mechanism to deal with. I also have an MSI e350
mini-ITX board, without any of those problems, and maybe someday I
will try to make a port for it.

No answer most likely means that there isn't anyone who owns this board so far, so I just pushed all information I could find out without buying that board in case someone wants to buy one and add coreboot support for it.
