Add configurable ramstage support for minimal PCI scanning This CL has changes that allow us to enable a configurable ramstage, and one change that allows us to minimize PCI scanning. Minimal scanning is a frequently requested feature. To enable it, we add two new variables to src/Kconfig CONFIGURABLE_RAMSTAGE is the overall variable controlling other options for minimizing the ramstage. MINIMAL_PCI_SCANNING is how we indicate we wish to enable minimal PCI scanning. Some devices must be scanned in all cases, such as 0:0.0. To indicate which devices we must scan, we add a new mandatory keyword to sconfig It is used in place of on, off, or hidden, and indicates a device is enabled and mandatory. Mandatory devices are always scanned. When MINIMAL_PCI_SCANNING is enabled, ONLY mandatory devices are scanned. We further add support in src/device/pci_device.c to manage both MINIMAL_PCI_SCANNING and mandatory devices. Finally, to show how this works in practice, we add mandatory keywords to 3 devices on the qemu-q35. TEST= 1. This is tested and working on the qemu-q35 target. 2.

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.
