Flame graphs are used to visualize hierarchical data, like call stacks.
Timestamps collected by coreboot can be processed to resemble
profiler-like output, and thus can be feed to flame graph generation
tools.
Generating flame graph using https://github.com/brendangregg/FlameGraph:
cbmem -S > trace.txt
FlameGraph/flamegraph.pl --flamechart trace.txt > output.svg
TEST=Run on coreboot-enabled device and extract timestamps using
-t/-T/-S options
