Revision from a previous patch. Sorry it took so long.
This change allows seabios to load bootorder not only from CBFS but
also from the NVRAM as well, making use of coreboot's cmos.layout.
Tested on QEMU Q35
From 3aee65ff1a9d5926ff18fa0770362e59e8b52257 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Timothy Kenno Handojo <timkenhan(a)mailbox.org>

Subject: [PATCH] boot: Allow setting bootorder from CMOS entry
The original bootorder from CBFS remains, but takes lower priority.
