Having the release notes mostly ready one week before the release
allows for better review.
Some statistics, the actual release date and commit ID can only be
filled in on release day, but there's a tried & true technique for
that: placeholders.
It's also a nice touch to have the release notes of a release within
its source tarballs, so push them right before creating the release
(since changes in Documentation/releases won't break coreboot in
any way).

The MIPS architecture port has been added 5+ years ago in order to
support a Chrome OS project that ended up going nowhere. No other board
has used it since and nobody is still willing or has the expertise and
hardware to maintain it. We have decided that it has become too much of
a mainenance burden and the chance of anyone ever reviving it seems too
slim at this point. This patch eliminates all MIPS code and
MIPS-specific hacks.

With this change cbfs_boot_locate will check the RO (COREBOOT) region if
a file can not be found in the active RW region. By doing so it is not
required to duplicate static files that are not intended to be updated
to the RW regions.
The coreboot image can still be updated by adding the file to the RW
region.
This change is intended to support VBOOT on systems with a small flash
device.

Add support for x86_64 bootblock on qemu.
Introduce a new approach to long mode support. The previous patch set
generated page tables at runtime and placed them in heap. The new
approach places the page tables in memory mapped ROM.
Introduce a new tool called pgtblgen that creates x86 long mode compatible
page tables and writes those to a file. The file is included into the CBFS
and placed at a predefined offset.
Add assembly code to load the page tables, based on a Kconfig symbol and
enter long in bootblock.
The code can be easily ported to real hardware bootblock.
Tested on qemu q35.

- Some columns on the left-most side of display are completely
black on 1400x1050 IPS display[1]. Display works fine on Linux.
I don't know why it appears like that. So far it has been observed
only with native graphics initialization.
- Only GRUB2 and SeaBIOS payloads tested for now.
- 2504 docking station USB doesn't work under Linux.
Can detect pendrive in GRUB2 payload.
- Sometimes it takes 20s of "pretending it's powered off" to run
coreboot code. Issue is payload agnostic.
Probably caused by missing one capacitor on my unit.

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.
