Updating microcode on several threads in a core at once
can be harmful. Hence add a spinlock to make sure that
does not happen.

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 CONFIG_MICROCODE_IN_CBFS is enabled, find the microcode blob in
CBFS and pass it to intel_update_microcode() instead of using the
compiled in array.
CBFS accesses in pre-RAM and 'normal' environments are provided
through different API.

Another bug in the Intel microcode update code that existed since we switched
to LinuxBIOSv2 in 2004:
The inline assembly code that reads the CPU revision from an MSR after running
cpuid(1) trashes registers EBX and ECX. Only ECX was mentioned in the clobber
list. C code running after this function could silently access completely wrong
data, which resulted in the wrong date being printed on microcode updates (and
potentially other issues happening until the C code writes to EBX again)

If microcode.c is built by romcc, this indicates that we are running
microcode updates in the bootblock (e.g. before enabling cache as ram).
In this case we did not enable any consoles yet, so we don't output
anything.
This patch removes inclusion of the unnecessary console/console.h for
that case, which was breaking with certain configurations.

Most subsystems print their name with a colon, and then the
message. Do the same thing for the microcode update code.
Also, each microcode update has a date header. Print the
date from that header to make it easier to determine whether
you're running the latest microcode.

- add GPLv2 + copyright header after talking to Ron
- "bits" in struct microcode served no real purpose but
getting its address taken. Hence drop it
- use asm volatile instead of __asm__ volatile
- drop superfluous wrmsr (that seems to be harmless but
is still wrong) in read_microcode_rev
- use u32 instead of unsigned int where appropriate
- make code usable both in bootblock and in ramstage
- drop ROMCC style print_debug statements
- drop microcode update copy in Sandybridge bootblock
