Hi
Currently most x86 platforms have CONFIG_NO_CAR_GLOBAL_MIGRATION set by implementing POSTCAR_STAGE. This means that global variables during CAR stages don't need to be migrated to cbmem when initializing cbmem, as stages are cleanly separated programs (in other words you don't tear down CAR while running code in CAR). Previously we had a CAR_GLOBAL macro that would put global variables a 'special' place in car. with NO_CAR_GLOBAL_MIGRATION this is not needed anymore.
I propose to remove all those CAR_GLOBAL references on platforms already implementing POSTCAR_STAGE. see [1]. That way future platforms that tend to copy a lot of this code don't needlessly end up using this meaningless macro.
Now moving forward it would be a nice goal to set for the October release 2020 to have NO_CAR_GLOBAL_MIGRATION as a mandatory feature? This was already discussed in [2], without a decisive conclusion.
