Description

Vaultboot did it a while ago, and it's actually a good idea to do so, even more when the goal of having some generic linux requirements and target/* requirements being streamlined.

For reference, vaulboot did this under all in one commit https://github.com/hardenedvault/vaultboot/commit/09e72b9f4879b157fac2ee462c581a17a2938204, look for Makefile payload target https://github.com/hardenedvault/vaultboot/blame/master/Makefile

Research direction

Start with the repository's Makefile and compare its payload-building flow with the Vaultboot Makefile target linked in the issue. Trace how the Heads payload is currently built with coreboot, then define completion as a separate target or helper that builds the payload independently while preserving the existing build flow.
