One of the most common hangs during coreboot execution
is during ramstage device init steps. Currently there
are a set of (somewhat misleading) post codes during this
phase which give some indication as to where execution
stopped, but it provides no information on what device
was actually being initialized at that point.
This uses the new CMOS "extra" log banks to store the
encoded device path of the device that is about to be
touched by coreboot. This way if the system hangs when
talking to the device there will be some indication where
to investigate next.

This can be used to indicate sub-state within a POST
code range which can assist in debugging BIOS hangs.
For example this can be used to indicate which device
is about to be initialized so if the system hangs
while talking to that device it can be identified.

The CMOS post code storage mechanism does back-to-back
CMOS reads and writes that may be interleaved during
CPU bringup, leading to corruption of the log or of other
parts of CMOS.

This adds more configurability to POST codes. The current assumption
is that POST codes should be written to an IO port (e.g. LPC) if POST
codes are enabled. This changes the assumption so that POST codes can
be written to the serial console without being written to an IO port.
This enables POST codes by default using "default y" to avoid
changing current behavior.

Read out the post code from the previous boot and
log it if the code is not one of the expected values.
Test:
1) interrupt the boot of the system, this is easiest
with warm reset button when servo is attached
2) check the event log with mosys

This will use 3 bytes of CMOS to keep track of the POST
code for the current boot while also leaving a record of
the previous boot.
The active bank is switched early in the bootblock.
Test:
1) clear cmos
2) reboot
3) use "mosys nvram dump" to verify that the first byte
contains 0x80 and the second byte contains 0xF8
4) powerd_suspend and then resume
5) use "mosys nvram dump" to verify that the first byte
contains 0x81 and the second byte contains 0xFD

Some mainboards have really nice capabilities for posting, beyond
simple POST cards. Further, some can not use a POST card. This
change defines a weak symbol (mainboard_post) that can be overridden
by a real mainboard_post function.
If, for example, you'd like to do something fancy before the payload starts,
you can add this to mainboard.c:
void mainboard_post(u8 value)
{
switch(value){
case POST_TIME_TO_PARTY: some_fancy_lights();
break;
}
}
Maybe the post function should be an entry in the device. We're beginning to over-use
weak symbols.

initializing VGA happens pretty much as the last thing before starting the
payload. Hence, drop VGA console support, as we did in coreboot v3.
- Drop VGA and BTEXT console support.
Console is meant to be debugging only, and by the time graphics comes up
99% of the risky stuff has already happened. Note: This patch does not remove
hardware init but only the actual output functionality.
The ragexl driver needs some extra love, but that's for another day
- factor out die() and post()
- drop some leftover RAMBASE < 0x100000 checks.
