    Add constants for fast path resume copying
    
    cache as ram does not usually cache the ram before it is up. Hence,
    if romstage.c backs up resume memory, the involved memcpy is always
    uncached. This makes resume very slow.
    On Sandybridge we copy the memory later, after enabling caching, and
    that allows us to resume in as little as 250ms.
