FWIW the lb_cbmem_entry tags that this implementation relies on are a
bit newer (2015), but the basic sentiment remains. This is just meant
to add support for the coreboot versions that expose this data, it's
not going to hurt earlier ones that don't (it's just going to create
an empty sysfs directory for those).
