    x86: add cache-as-ram migration option
    
    There are some boards that do a significant amount of
    work after cache-as-ram is torn down but before ramstage
    is loaded. For example, using vboot to verify the ramstage
    is one such operation. However, there are pieces of code
    that are executed that reference global variables that
    are linked in the cache-as-ram region. If those variables
    are referenced after cache-as-ram is torn down then the
    values observed will most likely be incorrect.
    
    Therefore provide a Kconfig option to select cache-as-ram
    migration to memory using cbmem. This option is named
    CAR_MIGRATION. When enabled, the address of cache-as-ram
    variables may be obtained dynamically. Additionally,
    when cache-as-ram migration occurs the cache-as-ram
    data region for global variables is copied into cbmem.
    There are also automatic callbacks for other modules
    to perform their own migration, if necessary.
