x86: Add ramstage CBFS cache scratchpad support
Having a CBFS cache scratchpad offers a generic way to decompress CBFS files through the cbfs_map() function without having to reserve a per-file specific memory region. This commit introduces the x86 `RAMSTAGE_CBFS_CACHE_SIZE' Kconfig to set a ramstage CBFS cache size. A cache size of zero disables the CBFS cache feature. The default size is 16 KB which seems a reasonable minimal value large enough to satisfy basic needs such as the decompression of a small configuration file. This setting can be adjusted depending on the platform needs and capabilities. To support S3 suspend/resume use-case, the CBFS cache memory cannot be released to the operating system. There are two options to meet this requirement: 1. Define a static CBFS cache buffer (located in the .bss section) 2. Create a new CBMEM entry Option #2 seems more powerful but considering that: 1. The CBFS cache is actually not a cache but just a scratch pad designed to be isolated between stages 2. postcar is a very short stage not really needing CBFS cache 3. The static initialization of the `cbfs_cache' global variable (cf. src/lib/cbfs.c) offers a simple and robust design => It is simpler to use a static buffer and limit the support to ramstage. Since some AMD SoCs (cf. `SOC_AMD_COMMON_BLOCK_NONCAR' Kconfig) define a `_cbfs_cache' region, an extra `POSTRAM_CBFS_CACHE_IN_BSS' Kconfig must be set to enable the use of a static buffer as the CBFS cache scratchpad.
