    sb/amd/sb700: Add option to increase SPI speed to 33MHz
    
    Some SB700-based systems and ROMs support high speed (33MHz) SPI
    access instead of the power-on default 16.5MHz.  Add an option
    to enable high speed SPI access in the bootblock, and set the
    default value to Disabled.  This greatly decreases boot time on
    SB700-based systems, especiall when a large payload is in use.
    
    On a KGPE-D16 with a Petitboot (Linux + initramfs) payload, the
    command prompt was accessible within 20 seconds of power on, which
    incidentally is faster than the proprietary BIOS on the same machine
    could even reach the GRUB bootloader.
