src/cpu: drop CPU_X86_CACHE_HELPER and x86_enable_cache wrapper function Selecting CPU_X86_CACHE_HELPER only added the x86_enable_cache wrapper function around enable_cache which additionally wrote a POST code to port 0x80 and printed a message to the console. This function was only called during multi-processor initialization in ramstage via the init function pointer in the CPU's device operations struct and was run on all cores, so the message on the console was printed once per CPU core. This patch replaces all x86_enable_cache calls by calls to enable_cache and removes the wrapper function and the Kconfig symbol CPU_X86_CACHE_HELPER which was used to only add this when the corresponding CPUs used the x86_enable_cache wrapper function.

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload.
With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.
After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.
See https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.
coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

ANY_TOOLCHAIN
Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case).Optional:
make menuconfig
and make nconfig
)Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.
If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU.
Please see https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
