  As proposed by Der Spiegel at
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/catalog-reveals-nsa-has-back-doors-for-numerous-devices-a-940994.html
the NSA seems to be interested in subverting BIOSes, lower-level disk
roms and the like.

  May I request you loudly announce how one checksums one's coreboot,
and in principle other BIOSes, so that one can see if anyone has changed
firmware critical to one's security.
