Duncan Laurie 338c617cc5 vboot: Add support for OPROM_MATTERS and SLOW_EC
In order to display a "update in progress" screen on devices with
a slow EC or PD chip it may be necessary to also load the VGA
Option ROM when doing EC software sync.

This adds config options for VBOOT_EC_SLOW_UPDATE which simply sets
a flag in the input parameters that is already handled by vboot.

It also adds a config option for VBOOT_OPROM_MATTERS which is a bit
more tricky in that it sets a flag in input parameters, but also
needs to keep track of the option rom being loaded and pass that
flag into VbInit as well.

Since VbInit will clear the NV bit for option rom loaded the check
that is done in vboot_wants_oprom() needs to first compare against
the vboot handoff copy of the input flags.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:32379
BRANCH=samus
TEST=manual testing:
1) in normal mode, with EC/PD in RW, ensure that they are rebooted
to RO and the VGA Option ROM is loaded and the wait screen is
displayed, and then the system is rebooted at the end and the
VGA Option ROM is not loaded.
2) same as #1 with EC/PD in RO already, same result
3) same as #1 with system in developer mode, same result except
there is no reboot at the end of software sync
4) same as #1 with system in developer mode and EC/PD in RO,
ensure that there is no extra reboot at the beginning or end of
software sync.

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:
