This maintains a 32bit monotonically increasing boot counter
that is stored in CMOS and logged on every non-S3 boot when
the event log is initialized.
In CMOS the count is prefixed with a 16bit signature and
appended with a 16bit checksum.
This counter is incremented in sandybridge early_init which is
called by romstage. It is incremented early in order notice
when reboots happen after memory init.
The counter is then logged when ELOG is initialized and will
store the boot count as part of a 'System boot; event.
Reboot a few times and look for 'System boot' events in the
event log and check that they are increasing. Also verify
that the counter does NOT increase when resuming from S3.
