    boot: add disable_cache_rom() function
    
    On certain architectures such as x86 the bootstrap processor
    does most of the work. When CACHE_ROM is employed it's appropriate
    to ensure that the caching enablement of the ROM is disabled so that
    the caching settings are symmetric before booting the payload or OS.
    
    Tested this on an x86 machine that turned on ROM caching. Linux did not
    complain about asymmetric MTRR settings nor did the ROM show up as
    cached in the MTRR settings.
