Having a separate romstage is only desirable:
- with advanced setups like vboot or normal/fallback
- boot medium is slow at startup (some ARM SOCs)
- bootblock is limited in size (Intel APL 32K)
When this is not the case there is no need for the extra complexity
that romstage brings. Including the romstage sources inside the
bootblock substantially reduces the total code footprint. Often the
resulting code is 10-20k smaller.
This is controlled via a Kconfig option.
TESTED: works on qemu x86, arm and aarch64 with and without VBOOT.

Improve boot time performances by replacing the wbinvd instruction
with multiple clflush to ensure that the SIPI data is written back to
RAM.
According to some experimental measurements, the wbinvd execution
takes between 1.6 up and 6 milliseconds to complete. In the case of
the SIPI data, wbinvd unnecessarily flushes and invalidates the entire
cache. Indeed, the SIPI module is quite small (about 400 bytes) and
cflush'ing the associated cache lines is almost instantaneous,
typically less than 100 microseconds.

When cbmem is initialized in romstage and postcar placed in the stage
cache + cbmem where it is run, the assumption is made that these are
all in UC memory such that calling INVD in postcar is OK.
For performance reasons (e.g. postcar decompression) it is desirable
to cache cbmem and the stage cache during romstage.
Another reason is that AGESA sets up MTRR during romstage to cache all
dram, which is currently worked around by using additional MTRR's to
make that UC.
TESTED on asus/p5ql-em, up/squared on both regular and S3 resume
bootpath. Sometimes there are minimal performance improvements
when cbmem is cached (few ms).

Selecting CPU_X86_CACHE_HELPER only added the x86_enable_cache wrapper
function around enable_cache which additionally wrote a POST code to
port 0x80 and printed a message to the console. This function was only
called during multi-processor initialization in ramstage via the init
function pointer in the CPU's device operations struct and was run on
all cores, so the message on the console was printed once per CPU core.
This patch replaces all x86_enable_cache calls by calls to enable_cache
and removes the wrapper function and the Kconfig symbol
CPU_X86_CACHE_HELPER which was used to only add this when the
corresponding CPUs used the x86_enable_cache wrapper function.

Stefan thinks they don't add value.
Command used:
sed -i -e '/file is part of /d' $(git grep "file is part of " |egrep ":( */\*.*\*/\$|#|;#|-- | *\* )" | cut -d: -f1 |grep -v crossgcc |grep -v gcov | grep -v /elf.h |grep -v nvramtool)
The exceptions are for:
- crossgcc (patch file)
- gcov (imported from gcc)
- elf.h (imported from GNU's libc)
- nvramtool (more complicated header)
