2016-04-02lib/prog_loading: introduce prog_segment_loaded()Aaron Durbin
In order to not muddle arch vs chipset implementations provide a generic prog_segment_loaded() which calls platform_segment_loaded() and arch_segment_loaded() in that order. This allows the arch variants to live in src/arch while the chipset/platform code can implement their own.

2016-04-02arch/x86: notify the system when the postcar parameter was updatedAaron Durbin
While rmodule_load() calls arch_segment_loaded() when it's done loading any pieces of code which further modify it, like changing parameters within the program itself, need to notify the rest of the system.

2016-03-23arch/x86: introduce postcar stage/phaseAaron Durbin
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.
