5397d8058c x86: Support adding coreboot timestanps to bootstage
Coreboot provides a lot of useful timing information. Provide a facility
to add this to bootstage on start-up.

e761ecdbb8 x86: Add TSC timer
This timer runs at a rate that can be calculated, well over 100MHz. It is
ideal for accurate timing and does not need interrupt servicing.

Tidy up some old broken and unneeded implementations at the same time.

To provide a consistent view of boot time, we use the same time
base as coreboot. Use the base timestamp supplied by coreboot
as U-Boot's base time.

6dbe0cce3f x86: Enable coreboot timestamp facility support in u-boot.
This change turns on the code which allows u-boot to add
timestamps to the timestamp table created by coreboot.

Since u-boot does not use the tsc_t like structure to represent
HW counter readings, this structure is being replaced by 64 bit
integer.

The timestamp_init() function is now initializing the base timer
value used by u-boot to calculate the HW counter increments.

Timestamp facility is initialized as soon as the timestamp table
pointer is found in the coreboot table. The u-boot generated
timer events' ID will start at 1000 to clearly separate u-boot
events from coreboot events in the timer trace.
