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.

2014-03-03selfboot: use bootmem infrastructureAaron Durbin
Instead of packing and unpacking entries in lb_mem use the bootmem infrastructure for performing sanity checks during payload loading.

2014-03-03coreboot: introduce arch_payload_run()Aaron Durbin
The selfboot() function relied on global variables within the selfboot.c compilation unit. Now that the bounce buffer is a part of struct payload use a new architecture-specific arch_payload_run() function for jumping to the payload. selfboot() can then be removed.

2014-03-03coreboot: use struct payload for selfload()Aaron Durbin
In order to encapsulate more data for self loading use struct payload as the type. That way modifications to what is needed for payload loading does not introduce more global variables.

2014-03-03coreboot: move common code to payload_run() from selfboot()Aaron Durbin
The selfboot() routine was perfoming most of the common teardown and stack checking infrastructure. Move that code into payload_run() to prepare removal of the selfboot() function.

2014-03-03coreboot: unify infrastructure for loading payloadsAaron Durbin
A payload can be loaded either from a vboot region or from cbfs. Provide a common place for choosing where the payload is loaded from. Additionally, place the logic in the 'loaders' directory similarly to the ramstage loader infrastructure.

2014-02-15coreboot: infrastructure for different ramstage loadersAaron Durbin
There are 2 methods currently available in coreboot to load ramstage from romstage: cbfs and vboot. The vboot path had to be explicitly enabled and code needed to be added to each chipset to support both. Additionally, many of the paths were duplicated between the two. An additional complication is the presence of having a relocatable ramstage which creates another path with duplication. To rectify this situation provide a common API through the use of a callback to load the ramstage. The rest of the existing logic to handle all the various cases is put in a common place.
