Thierry Escande d384d6f43d firmware: google memconsole: Add coreboot support
Coreboot (http://www.coreboot.org) allows to save the firmware console
output in a memory buffer. With this patch, the address of this memory
buffer is obtained from coreboot tables on x86 chromebook devices
declaring an ACPI device with name matching GOOGCB00 or BOOT0000.

If the memconsole-coreboot driver is able to find the coreboot table,
the memconsole driver sets the cbmem_console address and initializes the
memconsole sysfs entries.

The coreboot_table-acpi driver is responsible for setting the address of
the coreboot table header when probed. If this address is not yet set
when memconsole-coreboot is probed, then the probe is deferred by
returning -EPROBE_DEFER.

This patch is a rework/split/merge of patches from the chromeos v4.4
kernel tree originally authored by:

menuconfig GOOGLE_FIRMWARE

default n
help
These firmware drivers are used by Google's servers. They are
only useful if you are working directly on one of their
proprietary servers. If in doubt, say "N".

help
Say Y here if you want to enable SMI callbacks for Google
platforms. This provides an interface for writing to and
clearing the EFI event log and reading and writing NVRAM
variables.

select GOOGLE_COREBOOT_TABLE
help
This option enables the coreboot_table module, which provides other
firmware modules to access to the coreboot table. The coreboot table
pointer is accessed through the ACPI "GOOGCB00" object.
If unsure say N.

This option enables the kernel to search for a firmware log in
the EBDA on Google servers. If found, this log is exported to
userland in the file /sys/firmware/log.

This option enables the kernel to search for a firmware log in
the coreboot table. If found, this log is exported to userland
