x86: add rom cache variable MTRR index to tables
Downstream payloads may need to take advantage of caching the
ROM for performance reasons. Add the ability to communicate the
variable range MTRR index to use to perform the caching enablement.
An example usage implementation would be to obtain the variable MTRR
index that covers the ROM from the coreboot tables. Then one would
disable caching and change the MTRR type from uncacheable to
write-protect and enable caching. The opposite sequence is required
to tearn down the caching.
