This board builds an U-Boot binary that is bootable with QEMU's 'virt'
machine on ARM. The minimal QEMU command line is:
qemu-system-arm -machine virt,highmem=off -bios u-boot.bin
(Note that the 'highmem=off' parameter to the 'virt' machine is required for
PCI to work in U-Boot.) This command line enables the following:
- u-boot.bin loaded and executing in the emulated flash at address 0x0
- A generated device tree blob placed at the start of RAM
- A freely configurable amount of RAM, described by the DTB
- A PL011 serial port, discoverable via the DTB
- An ARMv7 architected timer
- PSCI for rebooting the system
- A generic ECAM-based PCI host controller, discoverable via the DTB
Additionally, QEMU allows plugging a bunch of useful peripherals to the PCI bus.
The following ones are supported by both U-Boot and Linux:
- To add a Serial ATA disk via an Intel ICH9 AHCI controller, pass e.g.:
-drive if=none,file=disk.img,id=mydisk -device ich9-ahci,id=ahci -device ide-drive,drive=mydisk,bus=ahci.0
- To add an Intel E1000 network adapter, pass e.g.:
-net nic,model=e1000 -net user
- To add an EHCI-compliant USB host controller, pass e.g.:
-device usb-ehci,id=ehci
- To add a NVMe disk, pass e.g.:
-drive if=none,file=disk.img,id=mydisk -device nvme,drive=mydisk,serial=foo

Add a new board config which uses 64-bit U-Boot. Supported features
are the same as the other 64-bit board (Google Chromebook Link).
It is a start for us to test 64-bit U-Boot easily without the need
to access a real hardware.
Note CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT is required for QEMU 64-bit as without
this the SPL build fails at the end. This is just a workaround as
CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT is not needed at all.

Except those SPL options required by 64-bit, compared to 32-bit
config, the following options are different:
- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN has to be increased to 0x1000 for SPL.
- CONFIG_DEBUG_UART has to be included due to the weird issue.
See TODO comments in arch/x86/cpu/x86_64/cpu.c:arch_setup_gd().
Once this issue gets fixed, debug uart can be optional.

This introduces two board defconfig files for generating EFI 32-bit
and 64-bit payloads, to run on QEMU x86 target.
With these in place, hopefully buildman will catch any build error
with EFI payload support on x86.

Disable a few things which interfere with the EFI init. This allows QEMU to
to boot into EFI, load a U-Boot payload then boot to the U-Boot prompt.

This commit introduces the initial U-Boot support for QEMU x86 targets.
U-Boot can boot from coreboot as a payload, or directly without coreboot.
