Currently all x86 boards still use CONFIG_SYS_EXTRA_OPTIONS to define
the text base address. Since it is deprecated, just remove it and use
CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE directly.

Let arch/x86/Kconfig prompt board vendor first, then select
the board model under that vendor. This way arch/x86/Kconfig
only needs concern board vendor and leave the supported target
list to board/<vendor>/Kconfig.

This came up in a discussion on the mailing list here:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/384613/
My concerns at the time were:
- it doesn't need to be written in assembler
- it doesn't need to be ARM-specific
This patch provides a possible alternative. It works by allowing any serial
driver to export one init function and provide a putc() function. These
can be used to output debug data before the real serial driver is available.
This implementation does not depend on driver model, and it is possible for
it to operate without a stack on some architectures (e.g. PowerPC, ARM). It
provides the same features as the ARM-specific debug.S but with more UART
and architecture support.

This is a relatively low-cost x86 board in a small form factor. The main
peripherals are uSD, USB, HDMI, Ethernet and SATA. It uses an Atom 3800
series CPU. So far only the dual core 2GB variant is supported.
This uses the existing FSP support. Binary blobs are required to make this
board work. The microcode update is included as a patch (all 3000 lines of
it).
