vboot: prepare for x86 verstage
In order to support x86 verstage proper the work buffer needs to live in cache-as-ram. However, after cache-as-ram is torn down one still needs the verification results to know which slot was selected. Though the platforms with a dedicated SRAM can just use the work buffer in SRAM, the x86 cache-as-ram platforms need a place to stash the results. For that situation cbmem is employed. This works because when cbmem is initialized cache-as-ram is still enabled. The VBOOT_DYNAMIC_WORK_BUFFER case assumes verified boot doesn't start until after cbmem is up. That doesn't change, but it's a goal to get rid of that option entirely once all other x86 platforms are moved over to pre-romstage vboot. BUG=chrome-os-partner:44827 BRANCH=None TEST=Built and booted glados with pre-romstage verification as well as VBOOT_DYNAMIC_WORK_BUFFER case.
