2015-03-20loaders: add program_loading.h header fileAaron Durbin
Instead of two headers for payload and ramstage loading combine the 2 files into one. This also allows for easier refactoring by keeping header files consistent.

2014-03-07x86: add MIRROR_PAYLOAD_TO_RAM_BEFORE_LOADING optionAaron Durbin
Boot speeds can be sped up by mirroring the payload into main memory before doing the actual loading. Systems that would benefit from this are typically Intel ones whose SPI are memory mapped. Without the SPI being cached all accesses to the payload in SPI while being loaded result in uncacheable accesses. Instead take advantage of the on-board SPI controller which has an internal cache and prefetcher by copying 64-byte cachelines using 32-bit word copies.
