kexec(8) needs to get the framebuffer address in order to set up the
new kernel's boot parameters. This is one of the reasons that using a
>4.20 kernel in Heads prevents framebuffer graphics from working in the
OS kernel.
Linux 4.20 started hiding this address from userspace, because
userspace is not supposed to need physical memory addresses. A
workaround was added to keep leaking the address, apparently for some
proprietary userspace OpenGL drivers. This requires both a Kconfig and
a kernel parameter.
This commit enables the Kconfig on the librem_common config, and the
kernel parameter on the librem_15v4 (where I'm testing this). We will
need to enable it on other >4.20 configs/boards as well.

This makes configs much less dependent on directory layout.
As of this commit the following variables are supported:
* @BOARD_BUILD_DIR@ - absolute path under build/
* @BLOB_DIR@ - absolute path to blobs/

Update all Purism Librem boards except the L1UM server
to coreboot 4.15:
- update coreboot version from 4.8.1/4.13 to 4.15
- use purism_blobs module (if not already)
- update board coreboot defconfig files (Librem 13/15)

Set the kernel video mode for the internal display to 1080p,
as the native panel resolution of 2160p is difficult to read.
A recent update to fbwhiptail allows the GUI to make use of the
scaled resolution as well, provided it is set via kernel param.

* modules: add purism-blobs module
Rather than require users to manually run a script to download the required
blobs to build Purism Librem boards, automate it so the correct version
is automatically downloaded/extracted. Restrict to coreboot 4.12 for now
since 4.8.1 still needs FSP blobs, which are not in module.
