Add Kconfig files for the northbridge. Currently we only need this for the geodelx, so we can select nrv2b decompression.
Why is nrv2b needed specifically for geodelx? The VSA blob? Should that not use the same compression as the payload, if the user chooses one?

At the time it seemed like the right way to handle the VSA binary distribution. We posted a binary blob that would just work when cat'd on to a Geode platform ROM. It was a painful to do by hand...
With the acceptance of buildrom and the new build configuration in v3, it seems as though we should change. The user/buildtool will have to handle the compression and padding to the correct size (don't need padding in v3 w/lar).
I am going to make an new VSA release soon so this would be a good time to make this change.
Thoughts?
