The sequence to inject microcode updates is virtually the same for all
Intel CPUs. The same function is used to inject the update in both CBFS
and hardcoded cases, and in both of these cases, the microcode resides in
the ROM. This should be a safe change across the board.
The function which loaded compiled-in microcode is also removed here in
order to prevent it from being used in the future.
The dummy terminators from microcode need to be removed if this change is
to work when generating microcode from several microcode_blob.c files, as
is the case for older socketed CPUs. Removal of dummy terminators is done
in a subsequent patch.

This patch aims to improve the microcode in CBFS handling that was
brought by the last patches from Stefan and the Chromium team.
Choices in Kconfig
- 1) Generate microcode from tree (default)
- 2) Include external microcode file
- 3) Do not put microcode in CBFS
The idea is to give the user full control over including non-free
blobs in the final ROM image.
MICROCODE_INCLUDE_PATH Kconfig variable is eliminated. Microcode
is handled by a special class, cpu_microcode, as such:
cpu_microcode-y += microcode_file.c
MICROCODE_IN_CBFS should, in the future, be eliminated. Right now it is
needed by intel microcode updating. Once all intel cpus are converted to
cbfs updating, this variable can go away.
These files are then compiled and assembled into a binary CBFS file.
The advantage of doing it this way versus the current method is that
1) The rule is CPU-agnostic
2) Gives user more control over if and how to include microcode blobs
3) The rules for building the microcode binary are kept in
src/cpu/Makefile.inc, and thus would not clobber the other makefiles,
which are already overloaded and very difficult to navigate.

When microcode storage in CBFS is enabled, the make system is supposed
to generate the microcode blob and place it into the generated ROM
image as a CBFS component.
The microcode source representation does not change: it is still an
array of 32 bit constants. This new addition compiles the array into a
separate object file and then strips all sections but data.
The raw data section is then included into CBFS as a file named
'microcode_blob.bin' of type 0x53, which is assigned to microcode
storage.

at the same time let the user specify sources instead
of object files:
- objs becomes ramstage-srcs
- initobjs becomes romstage-srcs
- driver becomes driver-srcs
- smmobj becomes smm-srcs
The user servicable parts are named accordingly:
ramstage-y, romstage-y, driver-y, smm-y
Also, the object file names are properly renamed now, using
.ramstage.o, .romstage.o, .driver.o, .smm.o suffixes consistently.
Remove stubbed out via/epia-m700 dsdt/ssdt files - they didn't
easily fit in the build system and aren't useful anyway.
