x86: add cache-as-ram migration option
There are some boards that do a significant amount of work after cache-as-ram is torn down but before ramstage is loaded. For example, using vboot to verify the ramstage is one such operation. However, there are pieces of code that are executed that reference global variables that are linked in the cache-as-ram region. If those variables are referenced after cache-as-ram is torn down then the values observed will most likely be incorrect. Therefore provide a Kconfig option to select cache-as-ram migration to memory using cbmem. This option is named CAR_MIGRATION. When enabled, the address of cache-as-ram variables may be obtained dynamically. Additionally, when cache-as-ram migration occurs the cache-as-ram data region for global variables is copied into cbmem. There are also automatic callbacks for other modules to perform their own migration, if necessary.
