Its not about the interface that the kernel uses, its about reporting the memory map to userland entities (especially kexec). There might be interest here in writing a module that supports the coreboot tables as an effort to try to work better with others. If nothing else, it will introduce our memory map ideas in a place where we don't have to convince people to buy our koolaid before trying it out.
