An unidentified combination of speculative reads and branch
predictions inside WRPROT-cacheable memory can cause invalidation of
cachelines and loss of stack on models based on NetBurst
microarchitecture.
Therefore disable WRPROT region entirely for all family F models.
As an extreme example, just changing the location of a constant string
passed to printk() has been witnessed to make a the boot fail early on
in romstage.

For cases with POSTCAR_STAGE=y this reference pulled
in the implementation of run_ramstage() which we would
not call.
Using _program results with the same region being marked
as WRPROT-cacheble.

The file cache_as_ram_ht.inc is used across a variety
of CPUs and northbridges. We need to split it anyway
for future C_ENVIRONMENT_BOOTBLOCK and verstage work.
Split and rename the files, remove code that is globally
implemented in POSTCAR_STAGE framework already.
