[RFC] Logging boot_state times

[Kyösti Mälkki]

Hi

In case someone is parsing coreboot logs and boot_state times in
particular, I am suggesting a change [1] to that format to report in
milliseconds rather than microseconds.

Another (but yet unimplemented) change is to accumulate for each
boot_state the times spent in printk() and udelay(). I think it will
be more meaningful to report estimated execution time, rather than
realtime there. I don't plan to remove the latter, though.

Regards,
Kyösti
