[coreboot] P965 / ICH8R coreboot support

[Mihai Marchidann]

Hello,

I would like to know if it is feasible to seek coreboot support
for the LGA775 socket and motherboards based on the P965
and ICH8R chipsets and controllers.
These motherboards, such as ASUS P5B-DE and P5B Deluxe Wifi-AP,
are still offered for sale and their top processors are still competitive
despite a few Intel CPU refreshes in the last 3-4 years.

I am wondering if the following datasheets and specifications would
suffice to start working on this port.

I would appreciate any advice and help. Thank you.
