Bounce buffers used to be used in those cases where the payload
might overlap coreboot.
Bounce buffers are a problem for rampayloads as they need malloc.
They are also an artifact of our x86 past before we had relocatable
ramstage; only x86, out of the 5 architectures we support, needs them;
currently they only seem to matter on the following chipsets:
src/northbridge/amd/amdfam10/Kconfig
src/northbridge/amd/lx/Kconfig
src/northbridge/via/vx900/Kconfig
src/soc/intel/fsp_baytrail/Kconfig
src/soc/intel/fsp_broadwell_de/Kconfig
The first three are obsolete or at least could be changed
to avoid the need to have bounce buffers.
The last two should change to no longer need them.
In any event they can be fixed or pegged to a release which supports
them.
For these five chipsets we change CONFIG_RAMBASE from 0x100000 (the
value needed in 1999 for the 32-bit Linux kernel, the original ramstage)
to 0xe00000 (14 Mib) which will put the non-relocatable x86
ramstage out of the way of any reasonable payload until we can
get rid of it for good.
14 MiB was chosen after some discussion, but it does fit well:
o Fits in the 16 MiB cacheable range coreboot sets up by default
o Most small payloads are well under 14 MiB (even kernels!)
o Most large payloads get loaded at 16 MiB (especially kernels!)
With this change in place coreboot correctly still loads a bzImage payload.
Werner reports that the 0xe00000 setting works on his broadwell systems.

Only i386 has code to support bounce buffer. For others coreboot
would silently discard part of binary which doesn't work and is a hell to debug.
Instead just die.

It encourages users from writing to the FSF without giving an address.
Linux also prefers to drop that and their checkpatch.pl (that we
imported) looks out for that.
This is the result of util/scripts/no-fsf-addresses.sh with no further
editing.

As per discussion with lawyers[tm], it's not a good idea to
shorten the license header too much - not for legal reasons
but because there are tools that look for them, and giving
them a standard pattern simplifies things.
However, we got confirmation that we don't have to update
every file ever added to coreboot whenever the FSF gets a
new lease, but can drop the address instead.
util/kconfig is excluded because that's imported code that
we may want to synchronize every now and then.

Instead of having different structures for loading
ramstage and payload align to using struct prog.
This also removes arch_payload_run() in favor of
the prog_run() interface.

The prog_run() function abstracts away what is required
for running a given program. Within it, there are 2
calls: 1. platform_prog_run() and 2. arch_prog_run().
The platform_prog_run() allows for a chipset to intercept
a program that will be run. This allows for CPU switching
as currently needed in t124 and t132.

The struct prog serves as way to consolidate program
loading. This abstraction can be used to perform more
complicated execution paths such as running a program
on a separate CPU after it has been loaded. Currently
t124 and t132 need to do that in the boot path. Follow
on patches will allow the platform to decide how to
execute a particular program.
Note: the vboot path is largely untouched because it's
already broken in the coreboot.org tree. After getting
all the necessary patches pushed then vboot will be
fixed.

Instead of two headers for payload and ramstage loading
combine the 2 files into one. This also allows for easier
refactoring by keeping header files consistent.

To find the coreboot tables, the payload has historically searched for their
signature in a predefined region of memory. This is a little clumsy on x86,
but it works because you can assume certain regions are RAM. Also, there are
areas which are set aside for the firmware by convention. On x86 there's a
forwarding entry which goes in one of those fairly small conventional areas
and which points to the CBMEM area at the end of memory.
On ARM there aren't areas like that, so we've left out the forwarding entry and
gone directly to CBMEM. RAM may not start at the beginning of the address space
or go to its end, and that means there isn't really anywhere fixed you can put
the coreboot tables. That's meant that libpayload has to be configured on a
per board basis to know where to look for CBMEM.
Now that we have boards that don't have fixed amounts of memory, the location
of the end of RAM isn't fixed even on a per board level which means even that
workaround will no longer cut it.
This change makes coreboot pass the location of the coreboot tables to
libpayload using r0, the first argument register. That means we'll be able to
find them no matter where CBMEM is, and we can get rid of the per board search
ranges.
We can extend this mechanism to x86 as well, but there may be more
complications and it's less necessary there. It would be a good thing to do
eventually though.
BUG=None
TEST=Built and booted on nyan. Changed the size of memory and saw that the
payload could still find the coreboot tables where before it couldn't. Built
for pit, snow, and big.

There are ARM systems which are essentially heterogeneous multicores where
some cores implement a different ARM architecture version than other cores. A
specific example is the tegra124 which boots on an ARMv4 coprocessor while
most code, including most of the firmware, runs on the main ARMv7 core. To
support SOCs like this, the plan is to generalize the ARM architecture so that
all versions are available, and an SOC/CPU can then select what architecture
variant should be used for each component of the firmware; bootblock,
romstage, and ramstage.

ARM: Split out ARMv7 code and make it possible to have other arch versions.
We don't always want to use ARMv7 code when building for ARM, so we should
separate out the ARMv7 code so it can be excluded, and also make it possible
to include code for some other version of the architecture instead, all per
build component for cases where we need more than one architecture version
at a time.
The tegra124 bootblock will ultimately need to be ARMv4, but until we have
some ARMv4 code to switch over to we can leave it set to ARMv7.
