For platforms with CAR we should disable it before relocation. Check if
this function is available and call it if so.

Per Intel FSP architecture specification, FSP provides 3 routines
for bootloader to call. The first one is the TempRamInit (aka
Cache-As-Ram initialization) and the second one is the FspInit
which does the memory bring up (like MRC for other x86 targets)
and chipset initialization. Those two routines have to be called
before U-Boot jumping to board_init_f in start.S.
The FspInit() will return several memory blocks called Hand Off
Blocks (HOBs) whose format is described in Platform Initialization
(PI) specification (part of the UEFI specication) to the bootloader.
Save this HOB address to the U-Boot global data for later use.

Move GD_BIST from lib/asm-offsets.c to arch/x86/lib/asm-offsets.c
as it is x86 arch specific stuff. Also remove GENERATED_GD_RELOC_OFF
which is not referenced anymore.

Implement SDRAM init using the Memory Reference Code (mrc.bin) provided in
the board directory and the SDRAM SPD information in the device tree. This
also needs the Intel Management Engine (me.bin) to work. Binary blobs
everywhere: so far we have MRC, ME and microcode.
SDRAM init works by setting up various parameters and calling the MRC. This
in turn does some sort of magic to work out how much memory there is and
the timing parameters to use. It also sets up the DRAM controllers. When
the MRC returns, we use the information it provides to map out the
available memory in U-Boot.
U-Boot normally moves itself to the top of RAM. On x86 the RAM is not
generally contiguous, and anyway some RAM may be above 4GB which doesn't
work in 32-bit mode. So we relocate to the top of the largest block of
RAM we can find below 4GB. Memory above 4GB is accessible with special
functions (see physmem).
It would be possible to build U-Boot in 64-bit mode but this wouldn't
necessarily provide any more memory, since the largest block is often below
4GB. Anyway U-Boot doesn't need huge amounts of memory - even a very large
ramdisk seldom exceeds 100-200MB. U-Boot has support for booting 64-bit
kernels directly so this does not pose a limitation in that area. Also there
are probably parts of U-Boot that will not work correctly in 64-bit mode.
The MRC is one.
There is some work remaining in this area. Since memory init is very slow
(over 500ms) it is possible to save the parameters in SPI flash to speed it
up next time. Suspend/resume support is not fully implemented, or at least
it is not efficient.
With this patch, link boots to a prompt.

On x86 it is common to use 'post codes' which are 8-bit hex values emitted
from the code and visible to the user. Traditionally two 7-segment displays
were made available on the motherboard to show the last post code that was
emitted. This allows diagnosis of a boot problem since it is possible to
see where the code got to before it died.
On modern hardware these codes are not normally visible. On Chromebooks
they are displayed by the Embedded Controller (EC), so it is useful to emit
them. We must enable this feature for the EC to see the codes, so add an
option for this.

The built in self test value is available in register eax on start-up. Save
it so that it can be accessed later. Unfortunately we must wait until the
global_data is available before we can do this, so there is a little bit of
shuffling to keep it around.

This code is a little muddled, so tidy it up. Make sure that we put the
GDT in the right place and set it up properly.

To permit information to be passed from the early U-Boot code to
board_init_f() we cannot zero the global_data in board_init_f(). Instead
zero it in the start-up code.

We currently assume that the global data pointer is at the start of
struct global_data. We want to remove this restriction, and it is
easiest to do this in C.
Remove the asm code and add equivalent code in C.

These were removed, but actually are useful.
Cold means that we started from a reset/power on.
Warm means that we started from another U-Boot.
We determine whether u-boot on x86 was warm or cold booted (really if
it started at the beginning of the text segment or at the ELF entry point).
We plumb the result through to the global data structure.

Putting global data on the stack simplifies the init process (and makes it
slightly quicker). During the 'flash' stage of the init sequence, global
data is in the CAR stack. After SDRAM is initialised, global data is copied
from CAR to the SDRAM stack

Use the base address of the 'F' segment as a pointer to the global data
structure. By adding the linear address (i.e. the 'D' segment address) as
the first word of the global data structure, the address of the global data
relative to the 'D' segment can be found simply, for example, by:
fs movl 0, %eax
This makes the gd 'pointer' writable prior to relocation (by reloading the
Global Desctriptor Table) which brings x86 into line with all other arches
NOTE: Writing to the gd 'pointer' is expensive (but we only do it
twice) but using it to access global data members (read and write) is
still fairly cheap

Move the relocation offset calculation out of assembler and into C. This
also paves the way for the upcoming init sequence simplification by adding
the board_init_f_r flash to RAM transitional function

By adding a multiboot header, U-Boot can be loaded by GRUB2. Using GRUB2 to
bootstrap U-Boot is useful for using an existing BIOS to get an initial
U-Boot port up and running before implementing the low-level reset vector
code, SDRAM init, etc. and overwriting the BIOS

There was a mix of UTF-8 and ISO-8859 files in the U-Boot source
tree, which could cause issues with the patchwork review system.
This commit converts all ISO-8859 files to UTF-8.
