broadwell: Preserve VbNv around cmos_init
To ensure that boot flags (legacy, usb, signed-only) are properly restored from CMOS and used in the first boot after a battery removal or RTC reset then the VbNv region needs to be preserved around the cmos_init call.
When using vboot firmware selection and VbNv is stored in CMOS then that region of CMOS will have been re-initialized by the time we call cmos_init and reset CMOS if the chipset flag was set indicating a problem.
BUG=chrome-os-partner:35240 BRANCH=broadwell TEST=manual testing on samus: 1) boot in dev mode, enable dev_boot_legacy and ensure it works 2) on EC console pulse PCH_RTCRST_L low for a second 3) ensure first boot after RTC reset will still boot legacy mode 4) remove battery for a time 5) ensure first boot after battery is re-inserted will still boot legacy mode
