I hope that once my company has some more resources, we will be able
to contribute to such efforts.  We use only OpenBSD, never Linux, so
we might want to fund development of an OpenBSD-BIOS, when we have the
resources!  Hopefully it would be done in a way that would be helpful
to all the Linux users, too.  We have OS preferences, but
philosphically we support all the open-source OSes, whether it's *BSD,
Linux, EROS, Plan 9, or anything else.

I personally can barely write code in C, so you wouldn't want my
programming help, but we may be able to help in terms of donating
hardware or other things we could do.  Do you need a new motherboard
to test?  Maybe we could contribute it.
