Add/remove/modify patches in coreboot-libre

- TODO: write this section + Under resources/scripts/helpers/download/coreboot you can find + the instructions used for patching coreboot. +

+ +

+ Modify the commit ID on the git reset --hard line accordingly, + and update the list of patches used accordingly. Do not cherry-pick + from review.coreboot.org directly; instead, include the diff in + resources/libreboot/patch/ and use git am + (you can get the diff by using git-format-patch). +

+ +

+ When you're done, simply download coreboot again:
+ $ ./download coreboot +

+ +

+ Finally, re-build the parts from coreboot that are used + by the build system:
+ $ ./build module coreboot +

+ +

+ Instead of running the above command, you can save time + by copying out the crossgcc that you compiled before + (from coreboot/util/crossgcc/) and then putting it back. + After you've done that, run everything in + resources/scripts/helpers/build/module/coreboot + except for the part that builds GCC.
