Comment(by hailfinger):

 Peter, the LAR patch will be difficult unless you're willing to put the ID
 in the top boot block.

 The trick is to have both a generic coreboot marker and the ID strings in
 a place that's always mapped. That way, we can apply board-specific ROM
 enable or readout functions automatically. Other ways lead to disaster and
 madness.
