Certain chipsets don't have a memory-mapped boot media
so their code execution for stages prior to DRAM initialization
is backed by SRAM or cache-as-ram. The postcar stage/phase
handles the cache-as-ram situation where in order to tear down
cache-as-ram one needs to be executing out of a backing
store that isn't transient. By current definition, cache-as-ram
is volatile and tearing it down leads to its contents disappearing.
Therefore provide a shim layer, postcar, that's loaded into
memory and executed which does 2 things:
1. Tears down cache-as-ram with a chipset helper function.
2. Loads and runs ramstage.
Because those 2 things are executed out of ram there's no issue
of the code's backing store while executing the code that
tears down cache-as-ram. The current implementation makes no
assumption regarding cacheability of the DRAM itself. If the
chipset code wishes to cache DRAM for loading of the postcar
stage/phase then it's also up to the chipset to handle any
coherency issues pertaining to cache-as-ram destruction.

Until recently x86 romstage used to be linked at some default
address. The address itself is not meaningful because the code
was normally relocated at address calculated during insertion
in CBFS. Since some newer SoC run romstage at CAR it became
useful to link romstage code at some address in CAR and avoid
relocation during build/run time altogether.

Certain platforms may need to limit their bootblock size to within
a given size because specific constraints. Allow the size to be
provided by the mainboard or chipset by way of the arch Kconfig
being processed after those.

When C_ENVIRONMENT_BOOTBLOCK is selected link bootblock using the
memlayout.ld scripts and infrastructure. This allows bootblock on
x86 to utilize all the other coreboot infrastructure without
relying romcc.

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.

To support x86 verstage one needs a working buffer for
vboot. That buffer resides in the cache-as-ram region
which persists across verstage and romstage. The current
assumption is that verstage brings cache-as-ram up
and romstage tears cache-as-ram down. The timestamp,
cbmem console, and the vboot work buffer are persistent
through in both romstage and verstage. The vboot
work buffer as well as the cbmem console are permanently
destroyed once cache-as-ram is torn down. The timestamp
region is migrated. When verstage is enabled the assumption
is that _start is the romstage entry point. It's currently
expected that the chipset provides the entry point to
romstage when verstage is employed. Also, the car_var_*()
APIs use direct access when in verstage since its expected
verstage does not tear down cache-as-ram. Lastly, supporting
files were added to verstage-y such that an x86 verstage
will build and link.

Now that cbfstool supports XIP for romstage utilize it.
This removes the double link steps with the cbfstool
locate and add-stage sandwich.

To reduce file clutter merge romstage.ld and ramstage.ld
into a single memlayout.ld. The naming is consistent with
other architectures and chipsets for their linker script
names. The cache-as-ram linking rules are put into a separate
file such that other rules can be applied for future verstage
support.
