-------------------
### `device_t` is no more
coreboot used to have a data type, `device_t` that changed shape depending on
whether it is compiled for romstage (with limited memory) or ramstage (with
unlimited memory as far as coreboot is concerned). It's an old relic from the
time when romstage wasn't operated in Cache-As-RAM mode, but compiled with
our romcc compiler.
That data type is now gone.
