yes indeed.
One big reason is that you don't want to find out, after you have
burned an elf into the coreboot image, that the elf has a problem.
When LAR parses the ELF, you know at coreboot build time that things
are probably ok. When coreboot parses the ELF, you don't know
until power on/reset -- a very bad time to find out there is a problem.
So elfboot should be removed from coreboot. We don't need it in there.
