Change subject: drivers/storage: Add SD/MMC/eMMC support
......................................................................


Patch Set 4:

This patch follows in the footsteps of two previous patches which have generated significant discussion.
https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/19004 and https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/18105

The 18105 patch spawned a long thread on the mailing list about whether or not the storage driver should even go into coreboot.  The decision from Stefan and the coreboot leadership was that it *SHOULD* go ahead.

Since the final plan is that this driver will be used in a multi-threaded environment to help speed up the boot time, we've requested that the final version have two configuration options to help with debug:
1) The driver should be able to be run in a single-threaded mode as well as the multi-threaded mode.
2) The driver should be able to be disabled to let the system run as it currently does with the storage driver initialization happening solely in the payload.
