The coreboot SMI handler already implements that. Remember SMI handlers
stay active even when the OS is loaded.
For security reasons coreboot even locks SMM so that SeaBIOS (or a Linux
kernel module or root process) couldn't just install a new handler.
When experimenting that lock can of course be disabled in the coreboot
source.
Hmm, if the SMI handler is only implemented when using YABEL than how
is one supposed to use SeaBIOS to load vga?
The i82830 SMI handler is implemented and enabled completely independent
of any option rom initialization in coreboot itself.
Ok cool. Then I guess SeaBIOS just needs to be able to load vga bios and
mbi rom. Correct?
