- Added a generic bhnd_nvram_parser API, with support for the TLV format
used on WGT634U devices, the standard BCM NVRAM format used on most
modern devices, and the "board text file" format used on some hardware
to supply external NVRAM data at runtime (e.g. via an EFI variable).
- Extended the bhnd_bus_if and bhnd_nvram_if interfaces to support both
string-based and primitive data type variable access, required for
common behavior across both SPROM and NVRAM data sources.
- Extended the existing SPROM implementation to support the new
string-based NVRAM APIs.
- Added an abstract bhnd_nvram driver, implementing the bhnd_nvram_if
atop the bhnd_nvram_parser API.
- Added a CFE-based bhnd_nvram driver to provide read-only access to
NVRAM data on MIPS SoCs, pending implementation of a flash-aware
bhnd_nvram driver.

This adds support for the NVRAM handling and the basic SPROM
hardware used on siba(4) and bcma(4) devices, including:
* SPROM directly attached to the PCI core, accessible via PCI configuration
space.
* SPROM attached to later ChipCommon cores.
* SPROM variables vended from the parent SoC bus (e.g. via a directly-attached
flash device).
Additional improvements to the NVRAM/SPROM interface will
be required, but this changeset stands alone as working
checkpoint.
