Boot speeds can be sped up by mirroring the payload into
main memory before doing the actual loading. Systems that
would benefit from this are typically Intel ones whose SPI
are memory mapped. Without the SPI being cached all accesses
to the payload in SPI while being loaded result in uncacheable
accesses. Instead take advantage of the on-board SPI controller
which has an internal cache and prefetcher by copying 64-byte
cachelines using 32-bit word copies.

Instead of packing and unpacking entries in lb_mem use
the bootmem infrastructure for performing sanity checks
during payload loading.

The selfboot() function relied on global variables
within the selfboot.c compilation unit. Now that the
bounce buffer is a part of struct payload use a new
architecture-specific arch_payload_run() function
for jumping to the payload. selfboot() can then be
removed.

In order to break the dependency on selfboot for jumping to
payload the bounce buffer location needs to be communicated.
Therefore, add the bounce buffer to struct payload.

In order to encapsulate more data for self loading use struct
payload as the type. That way modifications to what is needed
for payload loading does not introduce more global variables.

A payload can be loaded either from a vboot region or from cbfs.
Provide a common place for choosing where the payload is loaded
from. Additionally, place the logic in the 'loaders' directory
similarly to the ramstage loader infrastructure.
