x86: add coreboot table entry for TSC info
The 8254 (Programmable Interrupt Timer) is becoming optional
on x86 platforms -- either from saving power or not including it
at all. To allow a payload to still use a TSC without doing
calibration provide the TSC frequency information in the coreboot
tables. That data is provided by code/logic already employed
by platform. If tsc_freq_mhz() returns 0 or
CONFIG_TSC_CONSTANT_RATE is not selected the coreboot table
record isn't created.
BUG=chrome-os-partner:50214
BRANCH=glados
TEST=With all subsequent patches confirmed TSC is picked up in
libpayload.
