More about the content `device driver`, which could be used anywhere (actually, I first planed to use it in FILO, why is coreboot doing gfx init anyway?). Also, I was bothered some- times when code got copied from coreboot to libpayload or the other way around. I don't know if the real problem was that libpayload resides in it's own repository. But having simple device drivers in it's own place seems to be a good idea, for me.
Anyway, I'll push it next week (I guess) when the code got cleared.
