We need the checksum function without all the other table functionality
soon, so let's split it out into its own header file.

SeaBIOS is an open source implementation of a 16-bit x86 BIOS.
It can run in an emulator or natively on x86 hardware with the
use of coreboot. With SeaBIOS's help, we can boot some OSes
that require 16-bit BIOS services like Windows/DOS.
As U-Boot, we have to manually create a table where SeaBIOS gets
system information (eg: E820) from. The table unfortunately has
to follow the coreboot table format as SeaBIOS currently supports
booting as a coreboot payload.

The MP table provides a way for the operating system to support
for symmetric multiprocessing as well as symmetric I/O interrupt
handling with the local APIC and I/O APIC. We provide a bunch of
APIs for U-Boot to write the floating table, configuration table
header as well as base and extended table entries.

We can write the configuration table in last_stage_init() for all x86
boards, but not with coreboot since coreboot already has them.
