make GRUB multi-tree and re-add xhci patches
Re-add xHCI only on haswell and broadwell machines, where they are needed. Otherwise, keep the same GRUB code. The xHCI patches were removed because they caused issues on Sandybridge-based Dell Latitude laptops. See: https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/issues/216 The issue was not reported elsewhere, including on the Haswell/Broadwell hardware where they are needed, but the build system could only build one version of GRUB. The older machines do not need xHCI patches, because they either do not have xHCI patches, or work (in GRUB) because they're in EHCI mode when running the payload. So, the problem is that we need the xHCI patches for GRUB on Haswell/Broadwell hardware, but the patches break Sandybridge hardware, and we only had the one build of GRUB. To mitigate this problem, the build system now supports building multiple revisions of GRUB, with different patches, and each given coreboot target can say which GRUB tree to use by setting this in target.cfg: grubtree="xhci" In the above example, the "xhci" tree would be used. Some generic GRUB config has been moved to config/data/grub/ and config/grub/ now looks like config/coreboot/ - also, the grub.cfg file (named "payload" in each tree) is copied to the GRUB source tree as ".config", then added to GRUB's memdisk in the same way, as grub.cfg. Several other design changes had to be made because of this: * grub.cfg in memdisk no longer automatically jumps to one in CBFS, but now shows a menuentry for it if available * Certain commands in script/trees are disabled for GRUB, such as *config make commands. * gnulib is now defined in config/submodule/grub/, instead of config/git/grub - and this mitigates an existing bug where downloading gnulib first would make grub no longer possible to download in lbmk. The coreboot option CONFIG_FINALIZE_USB_ROUTE_XHCI has been re-enabled on: Dell OptiPlex 9020 MT, Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF, Lenovo ThinkPad T440p and Lenovo ThinkPad W541 - now USB should work again in GRUB. The GRUB payload has been re-enabled on HP EliteBook 820 G2. This change will enable per-board GRUB optimisation in the future. For example, we hardcode what partitions and LVMs GRUB scans because * is slow on ICH7-based machines, due to GRUB's design. On other machines, * is reasonably fast, for automatically enumerating the list of devices for boot. Use of * (and other wildcards) could enable our GRUB payload to automatically boot more distros, with minimal fuss. This can be done at a later date, in subsequent revisions.

-Subject: [PATCH 1/1] at_keyboard coreboot: force scancodes2+translate
-
-Scan code set 2 with translation should be assumed in
-every case, as the default starting position.
-
-However, GRUB is trying to detect and use other modes
-such as set 2 without translation, or set 1 without
-translation from set 2; it also detects no-mode and
-assumes mode 1, on really old keyboards.
-
-The current behaviour has been retained, for everything
-except GRUB_MACHINE_COREBOOT; for the latter, scan code
-set 2 with translation is hardcoded, and forced in code.
-
-This is required to make keyboard initialisation work on
-the MEC5035 EC used by the Dell Latitude E6400, when
-running GRUB as a coreboot payload on that laptop. The
-EC reports scancode set 2 with translation when probed,
-but actually only outputs scancode set 1.
-
-Since GRUB is attempting to use it without translation,
-and since the machine reports set 2 with translation,
-but only ever outputs set 1 scancodes, this results in
-wrong keypresses for every key.
-
-This fix fixed that, by forcing set 2 with translation,
-treating it as set 1, but only on coreboot. This is the
-same behaviour used in GNU+Linux systems and SeaBIOS.
-With this change, GRUB keyboard initialisation now works
-just fine on those machines.
-
-This has *also* been tested on other coreboot machines
-running GRUB; several HP EliteBooks, ThinkPads and
-Dell Precision T1650. All seems to work just fine.

-Subject: [PATCH 1/1] keylayouts: don't print "Unknown key" message
-
-on keyboards with stuck keys, this results in GRUB just
-spewing it repeatedly, preventing use of GRUB.
-
-in such cases, it's still possible to use the keyboard,
-and we should let the user at least boot.
-
-it often appears when people plug in faulty usb keyboards,
-but can appear for laptop keyboards too; one of my e6400
-has stuck keys.
-
-with this patch, grub should be a bit more reliable in
-terms of user experience, when the keyboard is faulty.
