I think a name like coreboot-x86 could make sense here, but it
shouldn't have dependence on drivers specific for chromebook hardware.
Only 'generic' drivers as vesa video and keyboard input needs to be
referenced on it. Then others developers could extend it to their
specific hardware, adding items like ethernet, mmc/sd driver, etc
