[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] [x86] Add a basic implementation for a coreboot board

[Gabe Black]

The early startup code is in arch/x86/cpu/start.S or start16.S depending on
the state of the CPU when u-boot is entered, and this code is called back
into at various points during startup. You can see that those callbacks
stubbed out where there's a label and then a jump back immediately after
it, for instance here:

+board_init16:
+       jmp     board_init16_ret

I have no problem merging the commits, but I'll wait for Graeme to weigh in
since it's a little easier to merge them than to unmerge them.
