+### `device_t` is no more
+coreboot used to have a data type, `device_t` that changed shape depending on
+whether it is compiled for romstage (with limited memory) or ramstage (with
+unlimited memory as far as coreboot is concerned). It's an old relic from the
+time when romstage wasn't operated in Cache-As-RAM mode, but compiled with
+our romcc compiler.
+
+That data type is now gone.
