    vpd: retrieve mac addresses and pass them to bootloader
    
    Chrome OS devices firmware usually includes an area called VPD (Vital
    Product Data). VPD is a blob of a certain structure, in particular
    containing freely defined variable size fields. A field is a tuple of
    the field name and field contents.
    
    MAC addresses of the interfaces are stored in VPD as well. Field names
    are in the form of 'ethernet_macN', where N is the zero based
    interface number.
    
    This patch retrieves the MAC address(es) from the VPD and populates
    them in the coreboot table so that they become available to the
    bootloader.
    
    BUG=chrome-os-partner:32152, chromium:417117
    TEST=with this and other patches in place the storm device tree shows
         up with MAC addresses properly initialized.
