cpu/x86/smm,lib/cbmem_console: Enable CBMEMC when using DEBUG_SMI This change will allow the SMI handler to write to the cbmem console buffer. Normally SMIs can only be debugged using some kind of serial port (UART). By storing the SMI logs into cbmem we can debug SMIs using `cbmem -1`. Now that these logs are available to the OS we could also verify there were no errors in the SMI handler. Since SMM can write to all of DRAM, we can't trust any pointers provided by cbmem after the OS has booted. For this reason we store the cbmem console pointer as part of the SMM runtime parameters. The cbmem console is implemented as a circular buffer so it will never write outside of this area. BUG=b:221231786 TEST=Boot non-serial FW with DEBUG_SMI and verified SMI messages are visible when running `cbmem -1`. Perform a suspend/resume cycle and verify new SMI events are written to the cbmem console log.

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.
