This stuff is not magic. But it requires a lot of reading and hunting for proper documentation on a platform as convoluted as x86. An ARM board would probably be way easier to play with. I never looked at the Pi. How well does it lend itself to this type of hacking?

Specific ARM boards might very well be easier, in that a lot of them are clean slate designs, so you're not dragging along nearly 40 years of PC history. But ARM CPU's themselves is plagued by the fact that OEMs can put pretty much whatever they want in there, so there is a proliferation of really weird beasts.
