I'm not sure what you mean by "necessary".
Necessary for better performance.

CPU access to the whole VRAM isn't really necessary. I thought the
main motivation for accessing FB directly on APUs was better
performance. You're disabling that optimization on all APUs where the
FB is smaller than the aperture size.
Correct, yes. For some reason coreboot seems to explicitly setup the
memory used for the FB as write-protected.
The GPU can still read/write it normally cause it ignores that
protection, but the CPU can't change the FB memory any more with that
setup.
No idea why they do this, most likely just an over conservative
protection of a reserved area of memory.
And what I forgot: If anybody has a good contact from the coreboot guys
then please speak up.
Would be nice to have a better solution for this.
Christian.

Christian.
