Number one reason to use cbfs_get_file was to get file length.
With previous patch no more need for this.

CPU_MICROCODE_IN_CBFS was designed to mean that loading microcode updates
from a CBFS file is supported, however, the name implies that microcode is
present in CBFS. This has recently caused confusion both with contributions
from Google, as well as SAGE. Rename this option to
SUPPORT_CPU_UCODE_IN_CBFS in order to make it clearer that what is meant is
"hey, the code we have for this CPU supports loading microcode updates from
CBFS", and prevent further confusion.

While we had support for updating microcode on the VIA Nano CPUs for a
while now, we never included the actual microcode. Unlike, Intel and
AMD CPUs, VIA microcode is not available for download, and was
extracted from the vendor BIOS. It was not included in coreboot since
we never had explicit permission to do so. I have just received
confirmation from VIA that we can distribute the microcode.

Summary:
Isolate CBFS underlying I/O to board/arch-specific implementations as
"media stream", to allow loading and booting romstage on non-x86.
CBFS functions now all take a new "media source" parameter; use
CBFS_DEFAULT_MEDIA if you simply want to load from main firmware.
API Changes:
cbfs_find => cbfs_get_file.
cbfs_find_file => cbfs_get_file_content.
cbfs_get_file => cbfs_get_file_content with correct type.
CBFS used to work only on memory-mapped ROM (all x86). For platforms like ARM,
the ROM may come from USB, UART, or SPI -- any serial devices and not available
for memory mapping.
To support these devices (and allowing CBFS to read from multiple source
at the same time), CBFS operations are now virtual-ized into "cbfs_media". To
simplify porting existing code, every media source must support both "reading
into pre-allocated memory (read)" and "read and return an allocated buffer
(map)". For devices without native memory-mapped ROM, "cbfs_simple_buffer*"
provides simple memory mapping simulation.
Every CBFS function now takes a cbfs_media* as parameter. CBFS_DEFAULT_MEDIA
is defined for CBFS functions to automatically initialize a per-board default
media (CBFS will internally calls init_default_cbfs_media). Also revised CBFS
function names relying on memory mapped backend (ex, "cbfs_find" => actually
loads files). Now we only have two getters:
struct cbfs_file *entry = cbfs_get_file(media, name);
void *data = cbfs_get_file_content(CBFS_DEFAULT_MEDIA, name, type);
Test results:
- Verified to work on x86/qemu.
- Compiles on ARM, and follow up commit will provide working SPI driver.

The use of ramstage.a required the build system to handle some
object files in a special way, which were put in the drivers
class.
These object files didn't provide any symbols that were used
directly (but only via linker magic), and so the linker never
considered them for inclusion.
With ramstage.a gone, we can drop this special class, too.

Add code to do the following for the VIA Nano CPUs
- Update microcode
- Set maximum frequency
- Initialize power states
- Set up cache
Attempting to change the voltage or frequency of the CPU without
applying the microcode update will hang the CPU, so we only do
transitions if we can verify the microcode has been updated.
The microcode is updated directly from CBFS. No microcode is
included in ramstage. The microcode is not included in this
commit.
To get the microcode, run bios_extract on the manufacturer supplied
BIOS, and look for the file marked "P6 Microcode". Include this
file in CBFS.
You can have the build system include this file automatically by
selecting Expert Mode, then look under
'Chipset' -> 'Include CPU microcode in CBFS' ->
Include external microcode file (check)
'Path and filename of CPU microcode' should contain the location of
the microcode file previously extracted.
