It is true. As soon as coreboot has suspend/resume enabled, the memory used by coreboot is permanently lost to the OS. While nobody cares about 400K missing on a 4G system, it would still be nice to only use what we need; Otherwise people could start thinking coreboot is a big and clunky firmware framework rather than a sleek and slim solution.
