[coreboot] Support to Intel CPUs

[Corey Osgood]

If you search the archives for my name and "Intel CPU", you should
find a patch to support all Intel CPUs as of ~6 months ago, whenever
the patch was posted. Unfortunately, not all the microcode updates
will fit into the flash of most of the Intel mainboards we support, so
some sort of compression needs to be put in place. If you can get it
to work, great, I've been tied up with other things as of late.
