Fix the NVRAM access functions to work correctly for the

upper 128 bytes of NVRAM (if enabled).

For most chipsets this means using I/O ports 0x72/0x73, but at least
on some VIA chipsets (I tested the VIA VT8237R on actual hardware)
these ports won't work and you have to use 0x74/0x75. Thus, make this
a Kconfig option for now.

/**
* PCs can have either 64 (very old ones), 128, or 256 bytes of CMOS RAM.
*
* Usually you access the lower 128 CMOS bytes via I/O port 0x70/0x71.
* For more recent chipsets with 256 bytes, you have to access the upper
* 128 bytes (128-255) using two different registers, usually 0x72/0x73.
*
* On some chipsets this can be different, though. The VIA VT8237R for example
* only recognizes the ports 0x74/0x75 for accessing the high 128 CMOS bytes
* (as seems to be the case for multiple VIA chipsets).
*
* It's very chipset-specific if and how the upper 128 bytes are enabled at
* all, but this work should be done in coreboot anyway. Libpayload assumes
* that coreboot has properly enabled access to the upper 128 bytes and
* doesn't try to do this on its own.
