I updated this payload project so that coreboot modifications are
no longer needed. Now the payload is added using an existing
cbfstool command:
    build/cbfstool build/coreboot.rom add-flat-binary
    -f ../edk2/build/images/EFILDR16 -n fallback/payload
    -l 0x100000 -e 0x102000

The coreboot and edk2 snapshots are updated and patches rebased.

A quick try did not get coreboot going on my RS780/SB700 family 10h
board, so I set that project aside for a while. Also, those boards
have "only" 1MB of flash, so the UEFI payload would have to slim down
by dropping integrated shell, network boot, etc.
Thanks,
