payloads/external/LinuxBoot: Adopt u-root change The u-root toolkit dropped the original uinit bootloader in the master branch and respectively the systemboot-option in templates.go. In consequence the LinuxBoot builds will boot into the u-root shell and waiting for input. This commit enables the reuse of the -uinitcmd flag to specify a command, which runs after the u-root init-process. Systemboot as a bootloader wrapper will mimic a BIOS/UEFI boot device selection. Other preselections, i.e. stboot and boot2 are implemented as well. Custom strings or programs can be set as well, but they cannot contain program flags. E.g. 'fbnetboot -class linuxboot' will not work, because they aren't symlinkable. This commit and its respective LinuxBoot builds with systemboot, none and one custom option have been tested successfully on a UP squared single board computer with the intended behavior.

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload.
With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.
After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.
See https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.
coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

ANY_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case).Optional:
make menuconfig and make nconfig)Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.
If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU.
Please see https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
