Description

When neutering ME to pass freed space to IFD BIOS region (and having CBFS_SIZE match maximized IFD region), booting of the platform was reported to take an additional 20 seconds.

A quick review at FOSDEM with a coreboot dev inspecting current Haswell code suggested that fixing DCACHE_RAM_BASE might fix the issue under src/northbridge/intel/haswell/Kconfig:

0xff7c0000 -> 0xfe7c0000

Unfortunately, I have no access to a t440p to test the fix.

It was also suggested that mrc.bin might need to be patched as well.
But 4.19 is bringing native raminit, so that might not be an issue?

Attached is the suggested change to be tested.
