[coreboot] Request for Intel Haswell info

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
What he said. Ron you are very right here. The rules were one to use,
and one to ,ah, hack.

Now I freely admit all  I know about bringing Coreboot to the
Chromebooks is what is discussed here. But I did indeed study and
follow the earlier efforts, and doing these ports can be considered
useful and even important.

I for one would indeed want to buy a Chromebook wearing Coreboot and
Haswell based.
