It *appears* to support IOMMU, and the AM3+ higher end procs (8350)

The 7xx chipset that coreboot currently supports does not do IOMMU
(artificial market separations)
What would be really swell is a port to a nice 9xx series motherboard,
both are quite old but the 8xx is even older.
9xx is the last best x86-64 boards that are able to boot without any
kind of supervisor processor (ME/PSP) and that have coreboot do the real
work (intel FSP boards make coreboot just shimboot doing 10% of the work
- entirely bogus - making most of the boot process a black box.)

Hey all,
I have a nice Gigabyte mainboard which I don't need/use anymore:
A Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 (rev. 2.0 or 2.1)
http://www.gigabyte.de/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3519
Since I like libre-friendly computing hardware, I'd find it nice to see
libreboot running on it. I'm not sure, but from what I see, it should
be libreboot compatible? Could someone more knowledged than me confirm
this?
If someone is interested in porting this board to coreboot, and if
there are no big foreseeable obstacles to porting it to lireboot, I'd
be happy donating that board together with a Phenom II 965 and 4G RAM,
preferrable to someone in Germany or within the EU (shipping costs).
Regards,
Merlin
