[coreboot] Add coreboot storage driver

[Vadim Bendebury]

Incidentally, a few years ago Chirantan and Simon (cced) implemented u-boot
concurrency support for an ARM SOC. I don't remember how much gain it was
bringing, and it did not go into production as it was quite late in the
project cycle.

But they might have some experience to share.
