Flash prefers 32-bit sequential access. On some platforms ROM is
not cached due to i.a. MTRR shortage. Moreover ROM caching is not
currently enabled by default. With this patch payload decompression
is sped up by theoretical factor of 4.
Test on X201, with caching disabled:
Before:
90:load payload 4,470,841 (24,505)
99:selfboot jump 6,073,812 (1,602,971)
After:
90:load payload 4,530,979 (17,728)
99:selfboot jump 5,103,408 (572,429)

while others dislike them being extra commits, let's clean them up once and
for all for the existing code. If it's ugly, let it only be ugly once :-)
