Start using the rmodtool for generating rmodules.
rmodule_link() has been changed to create 2 rules:
one for the passed in <name>, the other for creating
<name>.rmod which is an ELF file in the format of
an rmodule.
Since the header is not compiled and linked together
with an rmodule there needs to be a way of marking
which symbol is the entry point. __rmodule_entry is
the symbol used for knowing the entry point. There
was a little churn in SMM modules to ensure an
rmodule entry point symbol takes a single argument.

In order for userland to create rmodules the common code should be
shareable. Therefore, convert the short u<width> name types to the
posix uint<width>_t types. Additionally, move the definition of the
header structure to a new rmodule-defs.h header file so that userland
can include that without pulling in the coreboot state.

There are 3 places rmodule stages are loaded in the
existing code: cbfs and 2 in vboot_wrapper. Much of the
code is the same except for a few different cbmem entry
ids. Instead provide a common implementation in the
rmodule library itself.
A structure named rmod_stage_load is introduced to manage
the inputs and outputs from the new API.

Dynamic cbmem is now a requirement for relocatable ramstage.
This patch replaces the reserve_* fields in the romstage_handoff
structure by using the dynamic cbmem library.
The haswell code is not moved over in this commit, but it should be
safe because there is a hard requirement for DYNAMIC_CBMEM when using
a reloctable ramstage.

This patch fixes an issue for rmodules which are copied into memory
at the final load/link location. If the bss section is cleared for
that rmodule the relocation could not take place properly since the
relocation information was wiped by act of clearing the bss. The
reason is that the relocation information resides at the same
address as the bss section. Correct this issue by performing the
relocation before clearing the bss.

There is a need to calculate the proper placement for an rmodule
in memory. e.g. loading a compressed rmodule from flash into ram
can be an issue. Determining the placement is hard since the header
is not readable until it is decompressed so choosing the wrong location
may require a memmove() after decompression. This patch provides
a function to perform this calculation by finding region below a given
address while making an assumption on the size of the rmodule header..

A rmodule is short for relocation module. Relocaiton modules are
standalone programs. These programs are linked at address 0 as a shared
object with a special linker script that maintains the relocation
entries for the object. These modules can then be embedded as a raw
binary (objcopy -O binary) to be loaded at any location desired.
Initially, the only arch support is for x86. All comments below apply to
x86 specific properties.
The intial user of this support would be for SMM handlers since those
handlers sometimes need to be located at a dynamic address (e.g. TSEG
region).
The relocation entries are currently Elf32_Rel. They are 8 bytes large,
and the entries are not necessarily in sorted order. An future
optimization would be to have a tool convert the unsorted relocations
into just sorted offsets. This would reduce the size of the blob
produced after being processed. Essentialy, 8 bytes per relocation meta
entry would reduce to 4 bytes.
