thanks for all your help. I've did both changes (enabling SPI prefetch
and setting the MTRRs right). Boot time decreased now to 1.8s (with only
1s spent in coreboot). Decompression time is now about 100ms, which is
much better than what we had before (1.9s only for ramstage loading).

Thanks,

Sven.
