Set armv7 up for cpu_info to work as on x86 (so threads can work)
On x86, cpu_info lives at the top of stack. Make the arm do that as well, as the threading model needs that and so will multicore support. As part of this change, make the stack size a power of 2. Also make it much smaller -- 2048 bytes is PLENTY for ram stage. Note that the small stack size is counterintuitive for rom stage. How can this work in rom stage, which needs a HUGE stack for lzma? The main use of STACK_SIZE has always been in ram stage; since 2002 or so it was to size per-core stacks (see, e.g., src/arch/x86/lib/c_start.S:.space CONFIG_MAX_CPUS*CONFIG_STACK_SIZE and, more recently, thread stacks. So, we define the STACK_TOP for rom and ram stage, but the STACK_SIZE has no real effect on the ROM stage (no hardware red zones on the stack) and hence we're ok with actually defining the "wrong" stack size. In fact, the coreboot_ram ldscript for armv7 sizes the stack by subtracting CONFIG_STACK_BOTTOM from CONFIG_STACK_TOP, so we replicate that arithmetic in bootblock.inc Observed stack usage in ramstage: BS: BS_PAYLOAD_LOAD times (us): entry 1 run 153887 exit 1 Jumping to boot code at 23104044 CPU0: stack: 02072800 - 02073000, lowest used address 020728d4, stack used: 1836 bytes entry = 23104044 Which means we do need 2K, not 1K.
