If SPL is used we want to use the generic SPL framework and boot from SPI
via a board-specific means. Add these options to the board config file.

Since all x86 boards use spi flash as its bootloader storage media,
it makes sense to make CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH a common option.
So far only minnowmax board does not support it so undefine it in
its board configuration file.

CONFIG_DISPLAY_CPUINFO is already defined in x86-common.h, so remove

Change SYS_CONFIG_NAME and DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE to chromebook_link
which is currently the only real board officially supported to run
U-Boot loaded by coreboot.
Note the symbolic link file chromebook_link.dts is deleted and
link.dts is renamed to chromebook_link.dts.
To avoid multiple definition of video_hw_init, the CONFIG_VIDEO_X86
define needs to be moved to arch/x86/cpu/ivybridge/Kconfig.

Move CONFIG_SYS_CAR_ADDR and CONFIG_SYS_CAR_SIZE to Kconfig so that
we don't need them in the board configuration file thus the same
board configuratoin file can be used to build both coreboot version
and bare version.

Enable this option so that we can configure the available PCI devices. Also
make sure that PCI is available early after relocation as we use it for
several other subsystems.

This function is not needed. Remove it to improve the generic init sequence
slightly.

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 machines U-Boot needs to be added to a large ROM image which is
then flashed onto the target board. The ROM has a particular format so it
makes sense for U-Boot to build this image automatically. Unfortunately
it relies on binary blobs so we cannot require this for the default
build as yet.
Create a u-boot.rom output file for this purpose.

This board is a 'bare' version of the existing 'link 'board. It does not
require coreboot to run, but is intended to start directly from the reset
vector.
This initial commit has place holders for a wide range of features. These
will be added in follow-on patches and series. So far it cannot be booted
as there is no ROM image produced, but it does build without errors.
