exactly this. On most devices, the payload will execute ~600ms after
coreboot starts, and the image probably wouldn't start being displayed
until halfway thru that. So it would be up for ~300ms and likely just
appear as a flicker. Not to mention needing a different sized/formatted
image than used for Tianocore
