Hm. I think I recall discussion about multiple "payloads" in a lar.

I am very hesitant.
As was hinted to, it's not possible to guarantee all state so best
not try. With returning comes administration, I much prefer going

Returning only for the matter of loading the next payload. We will need
multiple payloads in the future for many things.<br>
<br>
In fact, we do have that technology already. Our first payload is
"stage2"<br>

I don't like coreboot doing it.
Think kernel vs /sbin/init

/sbin/init is slow and bloated. ;-) My first thought.<br>
