Now that all users of the coreboot_table_find function have been updated
to hang off the coreboot table bus instead, remove it.

This simplifies creating device drivers for hardware or information
described in the coreboot table. It also avoids needing to search
through the table every time a driver is loaded.

Coreboot (http://www.coreboot.org) allows to save the firmware console
output in a memory buffer. With this patch, the address of this memory
buffer is obtained from coreboot tables on x86 chromebook devices
declaring an ACPI device with name matching GOOGCB00 or BOOT0000.
If the memconsole-coreboot driver is able to find the coreboot table,
the memconsole driver sets the cbmem_console address and initializes the
memconsole sysfs entries.
The coreboot_table-acpi driver is responsible for setting the address of
the coreboot table header when probed. If this address is not yet set
when memconsole-coreboot is probed, then the probe is deferred by
returning -EPROBE_DEFER.
