Carl-Daniel Hailfinger cb9db3b6d0 We are woefully unaware about how much stack v3 really uses.
This is a complete rewrite of my earlier stack checker proposal.
It works for CAR and RAM, has better abstraction and actually gives us
nice results.
The stack checker is default off due to its rather measurable impact on
boot speed.
Diagnostic messages are printed on first initialization, directly after
RAM init and directly before passing control to the payload. Sample qemu
log is attached. Extract from that log follows:

coreboot-3.0.986 Fri Nov  7 04:04:37 CET 2008 starting...
(console_loglevel=8)
Initial lowest stack is 0x0008fe98
Choosing fallback boot.
[...]
Done RAM init code
After RAM init, lowest stack is 0x0008fe30
Done printk() buffer move
[...]
LAR: load_file_segments: Failed for normal/payload
Before handoff to payload, lowest stack is 0x0008bf50
FATAL: No usable payload found.
