There are ARM systems which are essentially heterogeneous multicores where
some cores implement a different ARM architecture version than other cores. A
specific example is the tegra124 which boots on an ARMv4 coprocessor while
most code, including most of the firmware, runs on the main ARMv7 core. To
support SOCs like this, the plan is to generalize the ARM architecture so that
all versions are available, and an SOC/CPU can then select what architecture
variant should be used for each component of the firmware; bootblock,
romstage, and ramstage.

This is a bit of a hack but it's very handy. It compiles in your static.c
and then shows what coreboot would see when it is run. It uses your static.c
and functions pulled from src/device/device_util.c.
I've already used it to debug problems with the snow device tree.
I'm waiting someone to tell me this is already written :-)
