I misinterpreted the effect of the John Lewis patch in that it enabled the use of the USB 3.0 ports but does not allow for the booting of USB 3.0 disk. Do you know if anyone has tried chainloading or daisy chaining - e.g. have a bootloader that works with the stock firmware, but then allows you to select a USB 3.0 disk? Just curious.
I had originally thought this was an issue with the stock Coreboot firmware, since my USB3 drives never showed up in the SeaBIOS boot menu. But, I just re-tested with my current SeaBIOS build (0613), and my USB3 flash drive suddenly appeared for the first time (and booted successfully), so I'm not sure what this issue is at the moment. It could be something with that specific drive, or it could be another SeaBIOS bug.
Since you said another (USB2) drive with the same setup booted successfully, I wouldn't suspect a bootloader issue. The only bootloader I've seen that has issues is syslinux 6.x, and only with the stock firmware. IME, if you try to boot a disk with syslinux 6.x, it's likely to reboot instantly.
