Since linux commit f9ba70535dc12d9eb57d466a2ecd749e16eca866
"[PATCH] Increase number of e820 entries hard limit from 32 to 128"
made in 2005 the number of e820 entries passed from the bootloader
is 128. Use the boot protocol version to check for support of
128 entries and use them if necessary.
Tested on IBM/SBP1:
Fixes booting a Linux payload when more than 32 entries are present
in the memory table, which can easily happen on a 4 socket platform.

To support full 64-bit addresses, there is a new field `ext_lfb_base`
since Linux 4.1. It is unclear, however, how a loader is supposed to
know if the kernel is compatible with this. Filling these previously
reserved bits doesn't hurt, but an old kernel would probably ignore
them and not know that it's handling a clipped, invalid address. So
we play safe, and only allow 64-bit addresses for kernels after the
2.15 version bump of the boot protocol.

With LinuxBoot Linux relied on the legacy method of fetching the RSDP
pointer to get ACPI. This uses a more modern approach available since
2018 on the Linux kernel, which involves filling in the zero page.
This method takes precedence over any other method of fetching the
RSDP in Linux (UEFI, Kexec, Legacy/BIOS). Some UEFI zealots are
threatening that legacy code will be removed from Linux so it's best
to already adapt to that possibility.
Tested on Qemu:
- With qemu the RSDP is always in the EBDA, so checking if Linux uses
the provided pointer is better done with a forced bad entry
- With a fake bad pointer Linux correctly does not find RDSP

The e820 type don't fully match the LB_TAG_MEMORY types, so change all
unknown types to e820 to '2', reserved memory.
TESTED with Linuxboot: e820 now shows the CBMEM region as reserved.

The linux trampoline was modifying the existing GDT
to add the 0x10 and 0x18 descriptors for Linux.
This will not work when the existing GDT is in ROM.
Change the code to set up a new GDT in what we know to be
RAM.
Tested by booting a linux payload. The main reason this works
is that Linux almost immediately loads its own GDT and then
segment registers. This GDT is a very temporary bridge.
Note that none of this change used to be necessary; the coreboot
GDT was originally compatible with Linux (ca 2000);
then Linux changed.

Add the code necessary to create the linux trampoline blob.
Don't enforce this for the in-coreboot build or use objcopy
to produce linux_trampoline.o as it is a bit trickier to get
all the details right than I had hoped:
- you have to know the elf architecture of the host machine
- you might have to have more tools (xxd, perl, etc) installed

It encourages users from writing to the FSF without giving an address.
Linux also prefers to drop that and their checkpatch.pl (that we
imported) looks out for that.
This is the result of util/scripts/no-fsf-addresses.sh with no further
editing.

As per discussion with lawyers[tm], it's not a good idea to
shorten the license header too much - not for legal reasons
but because there are tools that look for them, and giving
them a standard pattern simplifies things.
However, we got confirmation that we don't have to update
every file ever added to coreboot whenever the FSF gets a
new lease, but can drop the address instead.
util/kconfig is excluded because that's imported code that
we may want to synchronize every now and then.

The Linux trampoline code does not set up the segment descriptors for
__BOOT_CS and __BOOT_DS as described in the Linux kernel
documentation:
... a GDT must be loaded with the descriptors for selectors
__BOOT_CS(0x10) and __BOOT_DS(0x18); both descriptors must be 4G
flat segment; __BOOT_CS must have execute/read permission, and
__BOOT_DS must have read/write permission;
This is not a problem when launching a Linux payload from coreboot, as
coreboot configures the segment descriptors at selectors 0x10 and
0x18. Coreboot configures these selectors in the ramstage to match
what the Linux kernel expects (see
coreboot/src/arch/x86/lib/c_start.S).
When the cbfs payload is launched in other environments, SeaBIOS for
example, the segment descriptors are configured differently and the
cbfs Linux payload does not work.
If the cbfs Linux payload is to be used in multiple environments
should the trampoline needs to take care of the descriptors that Linux
requires.
This patch updates the Linux trampoline code to configure the 4G flat
descriptors that Linux expects. The configuration is borrowed from
the descriptor configs in coreboot/src/arch/x86/lib/c_start.S for
selectors 0x10 and 0x18.
The linux_trampoline code is slightly refractored by defining the
trampoline entry address, 0x40000, as TRAMPOLINE_ENTRY_LOC. This
definition is moved into a separate header file, linux_trampoline.h.
This header file is now included by both the trampoline assembly
language code and the trampoline loader C code.
The trampoline assembly language code can now use TRAMPOLINE_ENTRY_LOC
as scratch space for the sgdt CPU instruction.
Testing Done:
Verified the Linux payload is booted correctly in the following
environments:
1. Coreboot -> Linux Payload
2. Coreboot -> SeaBIOS -> Linux Payload: (previously did not work)

In the great tradition of LinuxBIOS this allows adding
a kernel as payload. add-payload is extended to also
allow adding an initial ramdisk (-I filename) and a
command line (-C console=ttyS0).
