The X11SSH-LN4F and X11SSH-F are very similiar. They both use the same
PCB and use the same Supermicro BIOS ID. The X11SSH-LN4F has 4 NICs in
difference to the X11SSH-F which only has 2 NICs. The two additional
NICs aren't populated on the X11SSH-F. Enable the PCIe root ports
connected to the two additional Intel NICs.

The BMC and tools interacting with it depend on metadata placed inside
the ROM in order the flash the BIOS.
Add a new tool smcbiosinfo, integrate it into the build system, and
generate a 128byte metadata file called smcbiosinfo.bin on build.
You need to provide the BoardID for every SMC mainboard through a new
Kconfig symbol: SUPERMICRO_BOARDID
Some fields are unknown, but it's sufficient to flash it using SMC
vendor tools.
Tested on Supermicro X11SSH:
* Flashing using the WebUI works
* Flashing using SMCIPMITool works
No further validation is done on the firmware.

On Hyper-Threading enabled platforms the MSR_PRMRR_PHYS_MASK was written
when already locked by the sibling thread. In addition it loads microcode
updates on all threads.
To prevent such race conditions only call the code on one thread, such
that the MSRs are only written once per core and the microcode is only
loaded once for each core.
Also add comments that describe the scope of the MSR that is being
written to and mention the Intel documents used for reference.
Fixes crash in SGX MP init.

Most of the X11 boards with socket LGA1151 are basically the same boards
with just some minor differences like different NICs (1 GbE, 10 GbE),
number of NICs / PCIe ports etc.
There are about 20 boards that can be added, if there is a community for
testing.
To be able to add more x11 boards easily like x11ssm (see CB:35427) this
restructures the x11ssh tree to represent a "X11 LGA1151 series". There
were multiple suggestions for the structure like grouping by series
(x10, x11, x...), grouping by chipset or by cpu family.
It turned out that there are some "X11 series" boards that are
completely different. Grouping by chipset or cpu family suffers from the
same problem. This is why finally we agreed on grouping by series and
socket ("X11 LGA1151 series").
The structure uses the common baseboard scheme, while there is no "real"
baseboard we know of. By checking images, comparing logs etc. we came to
the conclusion that Supermicro does have some base layout which is only
modified a bit for the different boards.
X11SSH-TF was moved to the variants/ folder with it's gpio.h. As we
expect the other boards to have mostly the same device tree, there is a
common devicetree that gets overridden by each variant's overridetree.
Besides that some very minor modifications happened (formatting, fixing
comments, ...) but not much.
Documentation is reworked in CB:35547

* IPMI of BMC
* PCIe, SATA, USB and M.2 ports
* RS232 serial

Not working:
* TianoCore doesn't work yet as the Aspeed NGI is text mode only.
