device/pci_rom: Write _ROM method for VGA devices
Write _ROM method and store PCI Option ROM in CBMEM.
Allows an EFI compatible OS to retrieve the Option ROM without the need
to access the PCI BAR. As the Option ROM is no longer present in the
legacy VGA area it's required for mobile platforms. On hybrid devices,
like Lenovo Thinkpads supporting NVIDIA Optimus it's the only way to
retrieve the Option ROM, even with legacy BIOS, as there's no PCI BAR to
map.
Tested on:
* Lenovo T530
* Linux Kernel 4.13.7
* nouveau
