04:34 <nic3-14159[m]> There might be another GM45 Dell Latitude coming to coreboot somewhat in the future, the E4200 (GM45/ICH9, combination of soldered and socketed DDR3). On the Open Source Firmware (OSFW) Slack we were discussing a product called Hyperspace from the BIOS company Phoenix, which horribly abused ACPI suspend to near instantly switch between Windows and a lightweight Linux system:
04:34 <nic3-14159[m]> https://cohost.org/cathoderaydude/post/1228730-taking-the-deepest-p . There is a thing called Dell Latitude ON which has a somewhat similar goal (but implemented in a slightly saner way, I hope), and one version of it uses module containing an ARM based system that plugs into the mainboard and connects to peripherals through a bunch of muxes. Daniel Maslowski just bought one and he said he'll see if he can get coreboot running on it.
04:34 <nic3-14159[m]> The E4200 is a much less mainstream board though, and I think those Latitude ON modules are likely to be even rarer
