Would be nice

Would be nice to see more system-on-chip (SoC) and single-board computers (SBC) have coreboot support.
Also for coreboot to be more used on smartphones, tablets and other embedded devices.

Would be really nice to see some ARMv8 64-bit SoC and SBC too.

This is great. I just got my BeagleBone Black the other day. Haven't fired it up, but the Cortex-A8 should be a nice performance boost vs. my Raspberry Pi.

Michael, when you do the BeagleBone Black benchmarks, it would be very interesting to compare against the Raspbery Pi and Atom processors.

Would be nice to see more support for regular desktop boards as well...
