Remove CACHE_ROM.
With the recent improvement 3d6ffe76f8a505c2dff5d5c6146da3d63dad6e82,
speedup by CACHE_ROM is reduced a lot.
On the other hand this makes coreboot run out of MTRRs depending on
system configuration, hence screwing up I/O access and cache
coherency in worst cases.
CACHE_ROM requires the user to sanity check their boot output because
the feature is brittle. The working configuration is dependent on I/O
hole size, ram size, and chipset. Because of this the current
implementation can leave a system configured in an inconsistent state
leading to unexpected results such as poor performance and/or
inconsistent cache-coherency
Remove this as a buggy feature until we figure out how to do it properly
if necessary.
