Documentation changes linked to PCR usage in coreboot 4.8.1 and newer versions, to be applied at the same time as linuxboot/heads#793 is merged.
Linked to VBOOT+Measured boot/Measured boot changes applied directly in coreboot so that we have a common base prior of going linuxboot/heads#709 and linuxboot/heads#721

@PatrickRudolph comments welcome

is the comment re: MRC meant to imply that we should measure the MRC blob / FSP-M separately from romstage?

@MrChromebox as I understood, coreboot VBOOT+measuredboot/measuredboot will measure it all under PCR2.
As of right now(master), PCR2 was used under coreboot 4.8.1 patches

@osresearch intention was to seperate them initially. Coreboot merges them all in.

I would just remove that comment. @MrChromebox opinion?

+1 on removing the comment

Removed comment about MRC needing to be measured into different PCR since coreboot is merging them all under PCR2 in newer VBOOT+measured boot/measuredboot
