Poison the stack to uncover programming errors
Code can easily make the mistake of using uninitialized
values or, in assembly, mistakenly dereferencing stack pointers
when an address is desired.
Set the stack to a non-zero value which is also (by testing)
a pointer which will crash coreboot if used. This poisoning
has uncovered at least one bug.
