soc/intel/common/fast_spi: support caching `ext_bios` in ramstage
This patch provides a way to cache `ext_bios` region for all stages to save boot time. TEST=Able to see the ext_bios region in MTRR snapshot when cached on the Brya variants. Here is the timestamp snippet showing the payload load time as a comparison between current upstream and the patched version: upstream: 90:starting to load payload 1,072,459 (1,802) 958:calling FspNotify(ReadyToBoot) 12,818,079 (11,745,619) with this patch: 90:starting to load payload 1,072,663 (2,627) 958:calling FspNotify(ReadyToBoot) 5,299,535 (4,226,871) Signed-off-by: Subrata Banik <subratabanik@google.com> Change-Id: I87139a9ed7eb9ed43164a5199aa436dd1219145c Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/62837 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org> Reviewed-by: Werner Zeh <werner.zeh@siemens.com> Reviewed-by: Tim Wawrzynczak <twawrzynczak@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Arthur Heymans <arthur@aheymans.xyz>
