After much consideration, and many years of an EXPERT mode sitting
almost completely unused, we've seen that it doesn't work for us.
There is no standard on what constitutes EXPERT, and most of
coreboot's options Kconfig are expert-level.
We even joked that not selecting "EXPERT" should prevent coreboot
from compiling:
@echo $(shell whoami) is not permitted to compile coreboot

The integration of external payloads in coreboot
is a bit messy. You have to change the to level Kconfig
file for every payload (something that we recently fixed
for mainboards and chipsets). This means that updating
e.g. the SeaBIOS version requires a change outside of the
SeaBIOS directory.
With this patch you can create a new directory under
payloads/external and place a Kconfig and Kconfig.name
file in there, and the payload will automatically show
up when you do "make menuconfig".
