At present Linux kernel loaded from U-Boot as an EFI payload does
not boot. This fills in kernel's boot params structure with the
required critical EFI information like system table address and
memory map stuff so that kernel can obtain essential data like
runtime services and ACPI table to boot.
With this patch, now U-Boot as an EFI payload becomes much more
practical: it is another option of kernel bootloader, ie, can be
a replacement for grub.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

Move it to a dedicated place.

The boot_zimage() function is badly named it can also boot a raw kernel.
Rename it, and try to avoid pointers for memory addresses as it involves
lots of casting.

If vboot successfully verifies a kernel, it will leave it in place and
basically ready to boot. The zeropage table which is part of the x86 boot
protocol is at the end of the kernel, though, instead of the beginning, and
because the image is already in place there's no need to copy it around.
This change refactors the code which implements the zboot command so that
the configuration of the zeropage table and loading the pieces of the
kernel into memory are done separately. Also, because the command line goes
before the zeropage table in vboot which is somewhat incompatible with the
normal protocol, where to put the command line is a now a parameter instead
of being hard coded.

This change conditionally modifies the zboot command so that it can use the
32 bit boot protocol. This is necessary because the 16 bit realmode entry
point assumes that it can call BIOS services which neither coreboot nor
u-boot provide.

This change cleans up some formatting issues in the zimage handling code, and
converts it from using offsets added to a base pointer to using the available
structure definitions which were already being included.

There was a mix of UTF-8 and ISO-8859 files in the U-Boot source
tree, which could cause issues with the patchwork review system.
This commit converts all ISO-8859 files to UTF-8.
