Add configurable ramstage support for minimal PCI scanning
This CL has changes that allow us to enable a configurable ramstage, and one change that allows us to minimize PCI scanning. Minimal scanning is a frequently requested feature. To enable it, we add two new variables to src/Kconfig CONFIGURABLE_RAMSTAGE is the overall variable controlling other options for minimizing the ramstage. MINIMAL_PCI_SCANNING is how we indicate we wish to enable minimal PCI scanning. Some devices must be scanned in all cases, such as 0:0.0. To indicate which devices we must scan, we add a new mandatory keyword to sconfig It is used in place of on, off, or hidden, and indicates a device is enabled and mandatory. Mandatory devices are always scanned. When MINIMAL_PCI_SCANNING is enabled, ONLY mandatory devices are scanned. We further add support in src/device/pci_device.c to manage both MINIMAL_PCI_SCANNING and mandatory devices. Finally, to show how this works in practice, we add mandatory keywords to 3 devices on the qemu-q35. TEST= 1. This is tested and working on the qemu-q35 target. 2.
