This sounds like a good idea to me.

I think that it might be a good idea to present the two things as seperate 
components. In my opinion it makes sense to leave the init framework as 
'coreboot'. However the firmware glue framework should probably be called 
something diffierent, like 'core firmware framework' (or if someone has a 
shorter yet still descriptive name, that would be good).

While these two code bases could live in the same repository, distinguishing 
them on the front page would probably go a long way to helping people 
understand what the thing they are using provides. 'Coreboot' provides an 
auditable init system, while 'core firmware framework' provides an auditable 
framework for glueing firmware, typical vendor blobs, together.

Platforms that support the coreboot native init could be labled as having 
actual coreboot support, while those that use the glue logic only, and thus 
require vender blobs to do the actual init, would be labled as having core 
firmware framework support (or again, another name for the new umbrella term).
