Neat, I emailed the guy behind libreboot thinkpads in the UK (and this message tallies with that,though I didn't comment as to ARM libreboot changes) that he should support the campaign.
Russell for my sins, doing dev work on an apple mac :)

I asked the same in coreboot list years ago when they started to port coreboot to ARM. I hardly remember but the point might have been to enable UEFI (both for functionality and possibly peripheral initialisation),
UEFI is extremely rare in the ARM world - the only SoC i know of that implements it is the iMX6.
Maybe the ARM chromebooks use UEFI, I don't remember.
Anyway, some ARM boards start to take PCI peripherals, and then you have to enumerate, allocate resources, initialise, run option ROMs (hopefully optional or free, but often not)... Coreboot already had this kind of stuff done. I don't know if with u-boot you could attach a sata controller to the PCI port of an ARM board and boot from a sata disk attached to that controller.
Things like this, I think. But I don't really remember well.
