Once coreboot jumped into SeaBIOS-code the latter is responsible for providing the right interface for interrupt services. I guess it doesn't matter very much in the end who switches the CPU to Real Mode. My point is that coreboot's bios calls can't be called because they don't exist ^^ > > That depends.

But in the beginning of this thread on 02 Aug Ron Minnich wrote that coreboot switches to PM, because: "And we want the 32-bit instruction set."
