    x86: add MIRROR_PAYLOAD_TO_RAM_BEFORE_LOADING option
    
    Boot speeds can be sped up by mirroring the payload into
    main memory before doing the actual loading. Systems that
    would benefit from this are typically Intel ones whose SPI
    are memory mapped. Without the SPI being cached all accesses
    to the payload in SPI while being loaded result in uncacheable
    accesses. Instead take advantage of the on-board SPI controller
    which has an internal cache and prefetcher by copying 64-byte
    cachelines using 32-bit word copies.
