coreboot: re-add asus kgpe-d16/kcma-d8/kfsn4-dre
Libreboot 20220710 was the last release to support these boards. I plan to eventually port code differences between D8/D16 to Dasharo, for KCMA-D8 support in Dasharo, to then use in Libreboot for both KCMA-D8 and KGPE-D16, but I have no plans to update the KFSN4-DRE code, at least for now. Libreboot 20220710 used coreboot 4.11, whereas this patch makes use of coreboot 4.11_branch; the crossgcc toolchains no longer compile on modern distros, so I spent time patching those (tested in Debian Sid, will also work on Arch Linux and so on). The acpica downloads now fail, in 4.11_branch, because Intel made some changes upstream for these tarball downloads. Newer coreboot works around this by grabbing tarballs from github, itself a non-ideal solution, but I digress; this patch changes coreboot crossgcc (in 4.11_branch) to download the acpica tarball from libreboot rsync, where I've added it. This patch also re-introduces the PIKE2008 fix, where empty option ROMs for these are inserted into CBFS. This prevents SeaBIOS from loading the real option ROMs, which would cause SeaBIOS to hang. This means that SAS drives are not supported in SeaBIOS, for these boards in Libreboot. I previously said, in the Censored Libreboot c20230710 announcement, that I would *only* merge D8/D16 when I've added Dasharo support to Libreboot, and use that, but the work to make coreboot 4.11_branch compile is something I'm quite proud of and I see no reason to exclude from lbmk master branch. Honestly, there's not much different than 4.11, code-wise. I *probably* won't use 4.11_branch for the next Libreboot release, on D8/D16. By then, I might have Dasharo integrated in lbmk instead. We shall see. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
