[coreboot] Partial 440BX RAM init by SPD - for the adventurous only!

Hello,

This patch reads SPD data and sets the DRB registers so it no longer hard
code for 64MB in bank 0. Theoretically I can stick three 256MB sticks and
it'll read 768MB.

I referred to both the SPD spec and 440BX datasheet when I wrote this, but
it's too late at night in Toronto so testing will have to wait :-).

As such this is for the highly adventurous to see and I don't expect this to
be committed just yet.

Also a question related to this: How can I get romcc to provide me an
assembly listing of a C file compiled? I want to see the assembly code that
compiling this generates.

Anyway, I got tired of trying to trace the vendor BIOS I have and just coded
this up from spec from scratch, so this should legally be safe, and thus...
