walkcbfs() is used only with ROMCC. Besides finding stages during the
bootblock, it's also used when applying microcode updates during the
bootblock phase. The function used to return only a pointer to the data of
the CBFS file, while making the header completely inaccessible. Since the
header contains the length of the CBFS file, the caller did not have a way
to know how long the data was. Then, other conventions had to be used to
determine the EOF, which might present problems if the user replaces the
CBFS file. This is not an issue when jumping to a stage (romstage), but can
present problems when accessing a microcode file which has not been
NULL-terminated.
Refactor walkcbfs_asm to return a pointer to the CBFS file header rather
than the data. Rename walkcbfs() to walkcbfs_head(), and reimplement a new
walkcbfs() based on walkcbfs_head(). Thus current usage of walkcbfs()
remains unaffected.
The code has been verified to run successfully under qemu.
Subsequent patches will change usage of walkcbfs() to walkcbfs_head where
knowing the length of the data is needed.
