mkelfimage is needed.
You need to build a kernel image that contains the kernel, initramfs,
and command line args. If my memory is correct, this is now possible
with the standard kernel build process and it creates and ELF file.
Since cbfstool can parse and ELF file, you should be able to use the
standard coreboot flow.
That won't work since Linux still requires the "bootblock" at 0x7d000
(or whereever that was). You only get that when using a "linux" loader.
Still, mkelfimage isn't exactly a well thought out tool. Take an ELF
linux image and add the bootblock section and you avoid a copy on
runtime and lots of complication of mkelfimage (eg. that stub it adds).
Never found the time to implement that, though.
