Patrick Georgi aed1f925a6 the attached patch is the last infrastructure change necessary for 
romfs.
Everything else to make a target romfs aware happens in the targets.

What the patch does:
1. missing romfs.h include
2. special handling while creating coreboot.rom
While the romfs code path in the makefile doesn't actually use the file,
it's possible that the build of coreboot.rom fails in a romfs setup,
because the individual buildrom image is too small to host both coreboot
and payloads (as the payloads aren't supposed to be there). Thus, a
special case to replace the payload with /dev/null in case of a romfs
build.
There would be cleaner ways, but they're not easily encoded in the
Config.lb format.
3. config.g is changed to create rules for a romfs build

Targets should still build (they do for me)

Coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary
BIOS you can find in most of today's computers.

It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes
one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel.


Payloads
--------

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

 * A Linux kernel
 * FILO (a simple bootloader with filesystem support)
 * GRUB2 (a free bootloader; support is in development)
 * OpenBIOS (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * Open Firmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * SmartFirmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * GNUFI (a free, UEFI-compatible firmware)
 * Etherboot (for network booting and booting from raw IDE or FILO)
 * ADLO (for booting Windows 2000 or OpenBSD)
 * Plan 9 (a distributed operating system)
 * memtest86 (for testing your RAM)


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

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