Alexandru Gagniuc f88204e02b Add a capability for mainboard-specific posting.
Some mainboards have really nice capabilities for posting, beyond
simple POST cards. Further, some can not use a POST card. This
change defines a weak symbol (mainboard_post) that can be overridden
by a real mainboard_post function.

If, for example, you'd like to do something fancy before the payload starts,
you can add this to mainboard.c:

void mainboard_post(u8 value)
{
	switch(value){
		case POST_TIME_TO_PARTY: some_fancy_lights();
		break;
	}
}

Maybe the post function should be an entry in the device. We're beginning to over-use
weak symbols.

BUG=None

TEST=Build and boot a google chromebook. Observe that it still works. Use it to drive
some pretty lights.
