You will have to get NDAed information from Intel about this.

Please have a look at the existing chipsets. I suggest having a look at
the i945 northbridge and ich7 southbridge code. 

Expect a new chipset/processor combination to be around 6-12 months of
(fulltime) work, depending on your level of expertize.

Yes, you can use the same Linux drivers that you use on a non-coreboot
system. They won't help you with the hardware initialization that
coreboot does, though.
