c1311ad4e0 efi_loader: Add console interface
One of the basic EFI interfaces is the console interface. Using it an EFI
application can interface with the user. This patch implements an EFI console
interface using getc() and putc().

Today, we only implement text based consoles. We also convert the EFI Unicode
characters to UTF-8 on the fly, hoping that everyone managed to jump on the
train by now.

bee91169f5 efi_loader: Add boot time services
When an EFI application runs, it has access to a few descriptor and callback
tables to instruct the EFI compliant firmware to do things for it. The bulk
of those interfaces are "boot time services". They handle all object management,
and memory allocation.

This patch adds support for the boot time services and also exposes a system
table, which is the point of entry descriptor table for EFI payloads.
