x86: Add ramstage CBFS cache scratchpad support
Having a CBFS cache scratchpad offers a generic way to decompress CBFS
files through the cbfs_map() function without having to reserve a
per-file specific memory region.
This commit introduces the x86 `RAMSTAGE_CBFS_CACHE_SIZE' Kconfig to
set a ramstage CBFS cache size. A cache size of zero disables the
CBFS cache feature. The default size is 16 KB which seems a
reasonable minimal value large enough to satisfy basic needs such as
the decompression of a small configuration file. This setting can be
adjusted depending on the platform needs and capabilities.
To support S3 suspend/resume use-case, the CBFS cache memory cannot be
released to the operating system. There are two options to meet this
requirement:
1. Define a static CBFS cache buffer (located in the .bss section)
2. Create a new CBMEM entry
Option #2 seems more powerful but considering that:
1. The CBFS cache is actually not a cache but just a scratch pad
designed to be isolated between stages
2. postcar is a very short stage not really needing CBFS cache
3. The static initialization of the `cbfs_cache' global
variable (cf. src/lib/cbfs.c) offers a simple and robust design
=> It is simpler to use a static buffer and limit the support to
ramstage.
Since some AMD SoCs (cf. `SOC_AMD_COMMON_BLOCK_NONCAR' Kconfig) define
a `_cbfs_cache' region, an extra `POSTRAM_CBFS_CACHE_IN_BSS' Kconfig
must be set to enable the use of a static buffer as the CBFS cache
scratchpad.
