This change makes significant changes to cbmem.py to make it use the
coreboot tables to find the memory console and timestamp areas instead
of looking for the in memory table TOC structure. That appears to be
more robust and gets cbmem.py working again after some unrelated
changes that affected memory layout.
It also introduces some small infrastructure to make accessing C style
structures in physical memory easier and more transparent.

This is a python script which is supposed to run on a target
which is controlled by coreboot. The script examines top of
memory looking for the CBMEM signature at addresses aligned at
128K boundary. Once the script finds the CBMEM, it iterates
through the CBMEM table of contents and parses two entries: the
timestamps and the console log.
This submission is just a template to build upon to create a
utility for displaying CBMEM information while running Linux on
the target.
