Payloads, by design, can return. There's lots of mechanism in the payload code
to support it, and the chooser payload relies on it. Hence, we should not mark
the function call in exit_stage as noreturn.
Not all ARM have unified caches, and it's not always easy to tell what
to do. So we are very paranoid. Before we call between stages, we
should carefully flush the dcache to memory and invalidate the icache.
This may be more than is necessary on all architectures but it
doesn't really hurt for the most part.
So compile cache management code into all stages, and call the
flush dcache/invalidate icache from all stages.

To simplify testing ARM implementation, we need a QEMU configuration for
ARM. The qemu-armv7 provides serial output, CBFS simulation, and full
boot path (bootblock, romstage, ramstage) to verify the boot loader
functionality.
To run with QEMU:
export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none
qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -m 1024M -nographic -kernel build/coreboot.rom
Verified to boot until ramstage loaded successfully by QEMU v1.0.50.
