console/Kconfig: Enable CBMEM console on x86 by default
Thanks to Kyösti Mälkki’s Google Summer of Code 2013 work, console output to CBMEM (CBMEM console) for ramstage messages works on all x86 boards. For romstage messages it works for Intel boards from the i945 chipset on, but it does not work yet for AMD boards.
Enabling CBMEM console on Google Pit and Snow results in compile errors, so it is just enabled for non-ARM systems.
The board status script under `util/board_status/` reads the coreboot messages from CBMEM, which are then uploaded to the board status repository. With CBMEM console disabled by default, currently no coreboot console messages are uploaded to the board status repository. Enabling CBMEM console by default improves this situation, so that at least ramstage messages are stored in the board status repository.
