[coreboot] What does *intelblocks* mean?

Dear coreboot folks, In commit a554b0c5b7 (soc/intel/common/block: Add Intel XHCI driver support) [1] the directory `src/soc/intel/common/block/include/intelblocks` is created. Could somebody please help me, what *intelblocks* means here, and why *intel* is twice in the path? Thanks, Paul [

Re: [coreboot] VT-d support

The reason I ask about what you need is that on chromebooks the main coreboot support came down to 'don't disable anything'. The DMAR requirements are not met on all platforms. But even after boot you can insert DMAR tables into kernels. So there is a key distinction between required support and
