New description:

 This patch does two things:

 - it drops duplicate code for coreboot table creation to be the same for
 all
 platforms while allowing platform dependent additions to the table.

 - it adds a function to create the cmos checksum range table (which was
 specified but not implemented before,   LB_TAG_OPTION_CHECKSUM)

 I applied the part which creates the  LB_TAG_OPTION_CHECKSUM entry.

 The rest of this patch needs to be redone.
