Intel has invented yet another binary blob which firmware is required to
run. This is run after SDRAM is ready. It is linked to load at a particular
address, typically 0, but is a relocatable ELF so can be moved if required.
Add support for this in the build system. The file should be placed in the
board directory, and called refcode.elf.
