Most modern x86 CPUs include more than one CPU core. The OS normally requires
that these 'Application Processors' (APs) be brought up by the boot loader.
Add the required support to U-Boot to init additional APs.

At present the normal update (which happens much later) does not work. This
seems to have something to do with the 'no eviction' mode in the CAR, or at
least moving the microcode update after that causes it not to work.
For now, do an update early on so that it definitely works. Also refuse to
continue unless the microcode update check (later in boot) is successful.

Cache-as-RAM should be turned off when we relocate since we want to run from
RAM. Add a function to perform this task.

Memory Type Range Registers are used to tell the CPU whether memory is
cacheable and if so the cache write mode to use.
Clean up the existing header file to follow style, and remove the unneeded
code.
These can speed up booting so should be supported. Add these to global_data
so they can be requested while booting. We will apply the changes during
relocation (in a later commit).

Add support for CAR so that we have memory to use prior to DRAM init.
On link there is a total of 128KB of CAR available, although some is
used for the memory reference code.

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.
