Sandybridge: Display platform information early
It is important to have the system configuration reported as early as possible to have a better idea what exact chipset the platform is running with.
This change adds code to have an early coreboot module report the CPU and PCH information. CPU info includes the 32 bit feature information word, the symbolic processor brand string, and information about some features support, as obtained through CPUID instructions.
The PCH information includes the symbolic device name and PCI device version.
