On some newer platforms of intel (confirmed on nehalem, sandy/ivy
bridge), coreboot after commit [2ac149d294af795710eb4bb20f093e9920604abd](https://review.coreboot.org/cgit/coreboot.git/commit/?id=2ac149d294af795710eb4bb20f093e9920604abd)
registers an SMI to lockdown some registers on the chipset, as well
as access to the SPI flash, optionally. The SMI will always be triggered
by coreboot during S3 resume, but can be triggered by either coreboot
or the payload during normal boot path.
Enabling lockdown access to SPI flash will effectly write-protect it,
but there is no runtime option for coreboot to control it, so letting
coreboot to trigger such SMI will leave the owner of the machine lost
any possibility to program the SPI flash with its own OS, and becomes
a nightmare if the machine is uneasy to disassemble, so a scheme could
be implement, in which the SMI to lockdown chipset and SPI flash is left
for a payload to trigger, and temporarily disabling such triggering in
order to program the SPI flash needs authentication.
I have implemented a passcode-protected runtime-disableable lockdown
with grub, described [here](https://github.com/hardenedlinux/Debian-GNU-Linux-Profiles/blob/master/docs/hardened_boot/grub-for-coreboot.md#update-for-coreboot-after-commit-2ac149d294af795710eb4bb20f093e9920604abd). In order to implement a similar scheme for
Heads, I wrote [io386](https://github.com/hardenedlinux/io386).
With this commit, io386 will be called before entering boot routine
to trigger the SMI to finalize the chipset and write protect the SPI
flash at the same time. Entering recovery shell will leave the flash
writable.
(The authentication routine implemented in previous revisions has been
split as an independent commit.)
Originally proposed under PR#326
* Properly initialize sensor IDs of 2nd CPU to fix fan control.
* Use 2s delay for I2C communications with TPM in OPAL (configured in
device tree).
* Stop building unused parts of skiboot using host GCC.

It only extends PCR10 and logs it separately.
Added entries are to compensate disabling IMA which selects those config
options.

Updated to reproducible version of fbwhiptail.
Added flags to remove debug info.
Updated url to current one instead of going through redirect.

Bash uses .build to keep count of the build number, which conflicts
with heads build system usage of .build to keep track of built modules.
If .build already exists when bash/configure is run it will increment by 1
the build number. This is configurable on the call to the support script
support/mkversion.sh, which is called from the bash/Makefile.
Patching the Makefile template used during bash configuration allows
disabling the build number increment.

We don't need coreboot to initialize graphics on this boards, this
eliminates some unneeded code and the gnat dependency for them.
Coreboot was using libgfxinit, but it was initializing in text mode.
Heads' kernel will then switch to graphics mode, and we hand that
framebuffer from i915 to the target kernel during kexec.

Most useful to me are:
coreboot.modify_and_save_defconfig_in_place
coreboot.modify_and_save_oldconfig_in_place
linux.modify_and_save_oldconfig_in_place
linux.modify_and_save_defconfig_in_place
Which permit to take current in tree configs and translate them into other format.
This is useful when trying to version bump and build.
Also add helpers to save in versioned version to facilitate change tracking:
linux.generate_and_save-versioned-oldconfig
linux.regenerate_and_save_versioned_defconfig
Update kexec to 2.0.26. Add tracing to framebuffer initialization. In
particular, the driver name is traced if not recognized, and messages
about kernel config are shown if the kernel doesn't provide the
framebuffer pointer.

Add CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_LEAK_PHYS_SMEM and related kernel parameters to
t440p. This board is already on kernel 5.10 and uses i915 graphics.

Allow leaking the DRM framebuffer pointer to userspace, and disable
framebuffer compression, like librem_15v4.
Tested booting memtest86+ and Debian netinstaller on Mini v2.
Do not enable this for L1UM, it uses Aspeed graphics which still don't
work. qemu uses virtio graphics, which also are not working.

Compressed framebuffer requires the driver to track updates to the
framebuffer from the CPU and update the compressed framebuffer. This
doesn't work if we kexec into an OS that will use the linear
framebuffer, so disable it. (The OS kernel can still use compressed
framebuffer if it has i915.)
Linux 5.8 enabled compressed framebuffer on more chipsets using i915,
which is why this stopped working.
memtest86+ and Debian (manually blacklisted i915, comparable to
netinst) now boot correctly on Librem 15v4. This will need to be
enabled for other boards too.

The i915 driver's ID changed again, now to i915drmfb.
It's unclear why kexec checks this, it seems it could populate the
target kernel's framebuffer info as long as it knows enough about the
host kernel's framebuffer, which it already checks. Maybe we could
improve this, for now just add the new ID again.

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.
