Personally I don't see any reason for branching, if 99% of the rest of
coreboot code (payloads etc.) is compatible. This will only get us
outdated for these components on this branch, which otherwise could
(and should) be kept simultaneously up-to-date to get the latest
goodies. So, just make two folders: 1 - resource allocator v3, 2 -
resource allocator v4, and access either v3 or v4 from outside
depending on your board selection.
