    cbfs: alternative support for cbfs_load_payload()
    
    In certain situations boot speed can be increased by providing an
    alternative implementation to cbfs_load_payload(). The
    ALT_CBFS_LOAD_PAYLOAD option allows for the mainboard or chipset to
    provide its own implementation.
    
    Booted baskingridge board with alternative and regular
    cbfs_load_payload().
