romstage: add support for vboot firmware selection
This patch implements support for vboot firmware selection. The vboot support is comprised of the following pieces: 1. vboot_loader.c - this file contains the entry point, vboot_verify_firmware(), for romstage to call in order to perform vboot selection. The loader sets up all the data for the wrapper to use. 2. vboot_wrapper.c - this file contains the implementation calling the vboot API. It calls VbInit() and VbSelectFirmware() with the data supplied by the loader. The vboot wrapper is compiled and linked as an rmodule and placed in cbfs as 'fallback/vboot'. It's loaded into memory and relocated just like the way ramstage would be. After being loaded the loader calls into wrapper. When the wrapper sees that a given piece of firmware has been selected it parses firmware component information for a predetermined number of components. Vboot result information is passed to downstream users by way of the vboot_handoff structure. This structure lives in cbmem and contains the shared data, selected firmware, VbInitParams, and parsed firwmare components. During ramstage there are only 2 changes: 1. Copy the shared vboot data from vboot_handoff to the chromeos acpi table. 2. If a firmware selection was made in romstage the boot loader component is used for the payload. Noteable Information: - no vboot path for S3. - assumes that all RW firmware contains a book keeping header for the components that comprise the signed firmware area. - As sanity check there is a limit to the number of firmware components contained in a signed firmware area. That's so that an errant value doesn't cause the size calculation to erroneously read memory it shouldn't. - RO normal path isn't supported. It's assumed that firmware will always load the verified RW on all boots but recovery. - If vboot requests memory to be cleared it is assumed that the boot loader will take care of that by looking at the out flags in VbInitParams. Built and booted. Noted firmware select worked on an image with RW firmware support. Also checked that recovery mode worked as well by choosing the RO path.
