drivers/xgi/z9s: Port Linux framebuffer initialization to coreboot
Add native XGI Z9s framebuffer support to coreboot XGI initialization code largely taken from Linux 3.18.5
TEST: Booted KFSN4-DRE with XGI Volari Z9s into SeaBIOS with SeaVGABIOS enabled. Text appeared correctly on screen and interaction with graphical comboot menu was successful. However, Linux cleared the framebuffer on boot, rendering the screen useless until Linux loaded its native xgifb driver.
