soc/intel/common/block/cpu: Add Kconfig for effective way size for NEM+
On Alder Lake, Meteor Lake and Panther Lake platforms the way size to consider for NEM+ computation is the effective way size. On Alder Lake, the External Design Specification #627270 "3.5.2 No-Eviction Mode (NEM) Sizes" provides a way to compute the effective way size by reading the number of CBO. Unfortunately, reading the number of CBO is not possible on Meteor Lake and Panther Lake. Therefore, we instead compute the effective way size as the biggest of power of two of the way size which works across all three platforms. The Kconfig `INTEL_CAR_ENEM_USE_EFFECTIVE_WAY_SIZE' is introduced to control this behavior. The issue addressed by this commit can be observed with the following experiment: using a 18 MB LLC SKU, set `DCACHE_RAM_SIZE` to 0x400000 (4 MB). The number of ways that used to be computed is round(0x400000 / 0x180000) = round(2.66) = 3. 3 ways were mapped to cover the 0x400000 NEM+ region. When the bootblock code accesses memory between 3 MB and 4 MB, the core would raise a page fault exception. The right computation is: 0x400000 / eff_way_size(0x180000) = 4. 4 ways needs to be mapped to cover the entire 0x400000 NEM+ region.
