Glad to see we are going to have the bare x86 support again :)

Yes, I would like to post patches when they are ready. Right now my
patches are against the U-Boot v2014.07 release. One issue is that I
am using Intel FSP for the memory and chipset initialization, which I
am not sure if some IP review is needed. But given coreboot already
adopts Intel FSP, I think it would be good.

Small footprint, extreme fast boot speed, and a user friendly shell.
Just cool for an embedded x86 platform.

Bin
