Finding the option roms is easy - they are located between 0xc0000 and
0xe0000 and are 2KiB aligned.

What is the benefit to coreboot doing the option rom scan?

Each option rom can inform the bios that it is capable of booting the
system.  Seabios knows how to build the list of bootable option roms
and can then interate through them during bootup.  It would be a pain
to have to implement this in coreboot.
