Log device path into CMOS during probe stages

Browse Source 
One of the most common hangs during coreboot execution
is during ramstage device init steps.  Currently there
are a set of (somewhat misleading) post codes during this
phase which give some indication as to where execution
stopped, but it provides no information on what device
was actually being initialized at that point.

This uses the new CMOS "extra" log banks to store the
encoded device path of the device that is about to be
touched by coreboot.  This way if the system hangs when
talking to the device there will be some indication where
to investigate next.

interrupted boot with reset button and
gathered the eventlog after several test runs:
