    Implement GCC code coverage analysis
    
    In order to provide some insight on what code is executed during
    coreboot's run time and how well our test scenarios work, this
    adds code coverage support to coreboot's ram stage. This should
    be easily adaptable for payloads, and maybe even romstage.
    
    See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.html for
    more information.
    
    To instrument coreboot, select CONFIG_COVERAGE ("Code coverage
    support") in Kconfig, and recompile coreboot. coreboot will then
    store its code coverage information into CBMEM, if possible.
    Then, run "cbmem -CV" as root on the target system running the
    instrumented coreboot binary. This will create a whole bunch of
    .gcda files that contain coverage information. Tar them up, copy
    them to your build system machine, and untar them. Then you can
    use your favorite coverage utility (gcov, lcov, ...) to visualize
    code coverage.
