coreboot: introduce CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_RAMSTAGE
This patch adds an option to build the ramstage as a reloctable binary. It uses the rmodule library for the relocation. The main changes consist of the following: 1. The ramstage is loaded just under the cmbem space. 2. Payloads cannot be loaded over where ramstage is loaded. If a payload is attempted to load where the relocatable ramstage resides the load is aborted. 3. The memory occupied by the ramstage is reserved from the OS's usage using the romstage_handoff structure stored in cbmem. This region is communicated to ramstage by an CBMEM_ID_ROMSTAGE_INFO entry in cbmem. 4. There is no need to reserve cbmem space for the OS controlled memory for the resume path because the ramsage region has been reserved in #3. 5. Since no memory needs to be preserved in the wake path, the loading and begin of execution of a elf payload is straight forward.
