OK, good point; let's do that with a board people can buy, not a
one-off engineering sample with DRAM parts known to be buggy.
I think this would be useful to have, but on the other hand it may
not be so difficult to add for the next board which needs it, and it
might rot a little if only in a board noone really uses with coreboot
anymore.
it's rotted completely. Plus, it was making trouble for the guys doing
GX2 work. Hence I am glad it's going away.
If you want to do a board with soldered on ram then use the XO-1.5 board
rather than the XO-1 board. Its vx855 based so it won't mess up any GX2
people. XO-1.5 boards are in production and in the wild. If someone
wants one then you can fill out an app on the contributors program and
we send you one.

cc: me if you apply.
The cots people do this by making a fake SPD device and plugging in the
necessary data. That way you don't have to restructure the code too much.
