[coreboot] [PATCH]libpayload: USB stack

Hi there,

This patch adds USB capabilities to libpayload. It requires some
memalign implementation (eg. the one I sent yesterday).
Features:
 - UHCI controller driver
 - UHCI root hub driver
 - USB MSC (Mass Storage Class) driver
 - skeleton of a USB HID driver (requires better interrupt transfer
handling, which is TODO)
 - skeleton of a USB hub driver (needs several blank spots filled in,
eg. power management. Again: TODO)

OHCI and EHCI are not supported, though OHCI support should be rather
easy as the stack provides reasonable abstractions (or so I hope). EHCI
will probably be more complicated.
Isochronous transfers (eg. webcams, audio stuff, ...) are not supported
- they can be, but I doubt we'll have a reason for that in the boot
environment.

The MSC driver was tested against a couple of USB flash drives, and
should be reasonably tolerant by now. Though I probably underestimate
the amount of bugs present in USB flash drives, so feedback is welcome.
