nyan: Add a "special-class" for aggregating BCT files into bct.cfg.

The config file which cbootimage processes to create a BCT could come from
multiple different files, individually selected based on config options,
and/or split up into different files for organizational purposes. This change
adds a special-class which collects those files and concatenates them all
together in a bct.cfg which can be processed more easily by other parts of the
build.

While the BCT files themselves are potentially very board specific, for
instance ones that hold memory timing information, this bit of code which
collects them is not. It has to be in each board file instead of alongside the
CPU, however, to ensure that the special class is set up before another
Makefile tries to use it. If we end up with lots of Tegra based boards which
duplicate this code over and over, we might want to revisit how this works.

nyan: Add bct files for nyan.

There's a config option which selects between the emmc and spi config files
depending on what the firmware is intended to boot from. These are copied from
the files installed by the tegra-bct-nyan ebuild, except that the spi config
file has been modified so that there's only one copy of the BCT and so that it
only has one configuration. This is to save space in the final image.

(cherry picked from commit 6bbcffe04e8ae73c86bc05c577a67f909857e1c0)

Squashed three commits required to get nyan building since some patches
were out of order. Added a select to the nyan mainboard Kconfig to have
a rom size of 1024K to match the saved config on the chromium side.

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:

  http://www.coreboot.org

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
