soc/intel/common: Add RAMTOP size in ramtop_table
This patch adds a new field, `size`, to the `ramtop_table` structure to store the size of the RAMTOP region. The RAMTOP size is calculated as the difference between the cbmem top and the FSP reserved memory base address, aligned up to the nearest 4MB boundary. This change allows for more accurate tracking of the RAMTOP region and improves compatibility with different memory configurations. Previously, the RAMTOP size was always assumed to be 16MB. This could lead to boot hangs on systems with different memory configurations, where the actual RAMTOP size exceeded 16MB. By dynamically calculating and storing the RAMTOP size, this patch ensures that the correct memory range is used for intermediate caching, preventing boot hangs and improving boot speed. The `update_ramtop()` function is updated to write the calculated RAMTOP size to CMOS along with the RAMTOP address. The `early_ramtop_enable_cache_range()` function is also updated to use the RAMTOP size from CMOS to set the correct MTRR range. BUG=b:373290479 TEST=Built and booted successfully on various platforms. Verified that the RAMTOP size is correctly calculated and stored in CMOS Change-Id: I16d610c5791895b59da57d543c54da6621617912 Signed-off-by: Subrata Banik <subratabanik@google.com> Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/85003 Reviewed-by: Kapil Porwal <kapilporwal@google.com> Reviewed-by: V Sowmya <v.sowmya@intel.com> Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org> Reviewed-by: Dinesh Gehlot <digehlot@google.com>
