Masked ROMs are the silent killers of boot speed on devices without
memory-mapped SPI flash. They often contain awfully slow SPI drivers
(presumably bit-banged) that take hundreds of milliseconds to load our
bootblock, and every extra kilobyte of bootblock size has a hugely
disproportionate impact on boot speed. The coreboot timestamps can never
show that component, but it impacts our users all the same.
This patch tries to alleviate that issue a bit by allowing us to
compress the bootblock with LZ4, which can cut its size down to nearly
half. Of course, masked ROMs usually don't come with decompression
algorithms built in, so we need to introduce a little decompression stub
that can decompress the rest of the bootblock. This is done by creating
a new "decompressor" stage which runs before the bootblock, but includes
the compressed bootblock code in its data section. It needs to be as
small as possible to get a real benefit from this approach, which means
no device drivers, no console output, no exception handling, etc.
Besides the decompression algorithm itself we only include the timer
driver so that we can measure the boot speed impact of decompression. On
ARM and ARM64 systems, we also need to give SoC code a chance to
initialize the MMU, since running decompression without MMU is
prohibitively slow on these architectures.
This feature is implemented for ARM and ARM64 architectures for now,
although most of it is architecture-independent and it should be
relatively simple to port to other platforms where a masked ROM loads
the bootblock into SRAM. It is also supposed to be a clean starting
point from which later optimizations can hopefully cut down the
decompression stub size (currently ~4K on RK3399) a bit more.
NOTE: Bootblock compression is not for everyone. Possible side effects
include trying to run LZ4 on CPUs that come out of reset extremely
underclocked or enabling this too early in SoC bring-up and getting
frustrated trying to find issues in an undebuggable environment. Ask
your SoC vendor if bootblock compression is right for you.

Introduce ibuf and obuf structures for helping manage memory buffers.
The ibuf, an input buffer, can be read from and the obuf, an output
buffer, can be written to. Helper functions are provided for serializing
values in different endian formats. This library is provided to for
common buffer management routines such that the same code doesn't
have to re-written in different and less consistent forms.

The FSPS component loading was just loading to any memory address
listed in the header. That could be anywhere in the address space
including ramstage itself -- let alone corrupting the OS memory on
S3 resume. Remedy this by loading and relocating FSPS into cbmem.
The UEFI 2.4 header files include path are selected to provide the
types necessary for FSP relocation.

FSP 2.0 uses the same relocate logic as FSP 1.1. Thus, rename
fsp1_1_relocate to more generic fsp_component_relocate that can be
used by cbfstool to relocate either FSP 1.1 or FSP 2.0
components. Allow FSP1.1 driver to still call fsp1_1_relocate which
acts as a wrapper for fsp_component_relocate.

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.

This patch ports the LZ4 decompression code that debuted in libpayload
last year to coreboot for use in CBFS stages (upgrading the base
algorithm to LZ4's dev branch to access the new in-place decompression
checks). This is especially useful for pre-RAM stages in constrained
SRAM-based systems, which previously could not be compressed due to
the size requirements of the LZMA scratchpad and bounce buffer. The
LZ4 algorithm offers a very lean decompressor function and in-place
decompression support to achieve roughly the same boot speed gains
(trading compression ratio for decompression time) with nearly no
memory overhead.
For now we only activate it for the stages that had previously not been
compressed at all on non-XIP (read: non-x86) boards. In the future we
may also consider replacing LZMA completely for certain boards, since
which algorithm wins out on boot speed depends on board-specific
parameters (architecture, processor speed, SPI transfer rate, etc.).

To continue sharing more code between the tools and
coreboot proper provide cbfs parsing logic in commonlib.
A cbfs_for_each_file() function was added to allow
one to act on each file found within a cbfs. cbfs_locate()
was updated to use that logic.

In order to support FSP 1.1 relocation within cbfstool
the relocation code needs to be moved into commonlib.
To that end, move it. The FSP 1.1 relocation code binds
to edk2 UEFI 2.4 types unconditionally which is separate
from the FSP's version binding.

Instead of reaching into src/include and re-writing code
allow for cleaner code sharing within coreboot and its
utilities. The additional thing needed at this point is
for the utilities to provide a printk() declaration within
a <console/console.h> file. That way code which uses printk()
can than be mapped properly to verbosity of utility parameters.
