cpu/x86: Add a prog_run hook to set up caching of XIP stages
Some platforms lack a non-eviction mode and therefore caching the
whole ROM to speed up XIP stages can be dangerous as it could result
in eviction if too much of the ROM is being accessed. The solution is
to only cache a region, about the size of the stage that the bootblock
is about to load: verstage and/or romstage.
TODO: now a limit of 256KiB is set for the total amount of cache that
can be used. This should fit most use cases for the time being.
