soc/intel/common/block/fast_spi: Refactor ROM caching implementation
This patch removes different implementation to cache the SPI ROM between early and later boot stage where SPI ROM caching doesn't need even advanced implementation like `mtrr_use_temp_range()` as SPI ROM ranage is always mapped to below 4GB hence, simple `set_var_mtrr()` function can be sufficient without any additional complexity. BUG=b:225766934 TEST=Calling into `fast_spi_cache_bios_region()` from ramstage is able to update the temporary variable range MTRRs and showed ~44ms of boot time savings as below: Before: 90:starting to load payload             1,084,052 (14)   15:starting LZMA decompress (ignore for x86)   1,084,121 (68)   16:finished LZMA decompress (ignore for x86)   1,140,742 (56,620) After: 90:starting to load payload              1,090,433 (14)   15:starting LZMA decompress (ignore for x86)   1,090,650 (217)   16:finished LZMA decompress (ignore for x86)   1,102,896 (12,245) Signed-off-by: Subrata Banik <subratabanik@google.com> Change-Id: I43973b45dc6d032cfcc920eeb36b37fe027e6e8e Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/63221 Reviewed-by: Tim Wawrzynczak <twawrzynczak@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Arthur Heymans <arthur@aheymans.xyz> Reviewed-by: Nick Vaccaro <nvaccaro@google.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Lai <eric_lai@quanta.corp-partner.google.com> Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org>
