When you boot an efi payload from network, then exit that payload
and load another payload from disk afterwords, the disk payload will
currently see the network device as its boot path.
This breaks grub2 for example which tries to find its modules based
on the path it was loaded from.
This patch fixes that issue by always reverting to disk paths if we're
not in the network boot. That way the data structures after a network
boot look the same as before.

We can pass SMBIOS easily as EFI configuration table to an EFI payload. This
patch adds enablement for that case.
While at it, we also enable SMBIOS generation for ARM systems, since they support
EFI_LOADER.

EFI allows an OS to leverage firmware drivers while the OS is running. In the
generic code we so far had to stub those implementations out, because we would
need board specific knowledge about MMIO setups for it.
However, boards can easily implement those themselves. This patch provides the
framework so that a board can implement its own versions of get_time and
reset_system which would actually do something useful.
While at it we also introduce a simple way for code to reserve MMIO pointers
as runtime available.

When using CONFIG_BLK, there were 2 issues:
1) The name we generate the device with has to match the
name we set in efi_set_bootdev()
2) The device we pass into our block functions was wrong,
we should not rediscover it but just use the already known
pointer.
This patch fixes both issues.

When loading an efi image, we pass it the location it was loaded from.
On file system backends, there are no relative paths, so we should always
pass in absolute ones. For network paths, we may be relative.
This fixes distro booting with grub2 for me when it fetches the grub2 config
file from the loader partition.

Short help (description) in bootefi command has a trailing "\n" that
breaks the "help" command output (empty line after "bootefi").
Nothing important, doesn't affect anything but better be fixed in the
upcoming release.
Still working on i.MX6 and their siblings NAND U-Boot update -- it
works here but not ready for a submission yet. Anyway it is for the
next cycle, not going to go into this release because it is too big
and may affect something else.
Also have some thoughts about fastboot (using multiple devices) but
this will go into separate email with RFC.

We introduced special "DEBUG_EFI" defines when the efi loader
support was new. After giving it a bit of thought, turns out
we really didn't have to - the normal #define DEBUG infrastructure
works well enough for efi loader as well.
So this patch switches to the common debug() and #define DEBUG
way of printing debug information.

Some times you may want to exit an EFI payload again, for example
to default boot into a PXE installation and decide that you would
rather want to boot from the local disk instead.

EFI payloads to exit.

We can now successfully boot EFI applications from disk, but users
may want to also run them from a PXE setup.
This patch implements rudimentary network support, allowing a payload
to send and receive network packets.
With this patch, I was able to successfully run grub2 with network
access inside of QEMU's -M xlnx-ep108.

The bootefi cmd today fetches its device tree pointer from either the
location appointed by "fdt addr" with a fallback to the U-Boot control
fdt.
This integration is unusual for U-Boot and diverges from the way we
usually handle parameters to boot commands. So let's pass the fdt
directly into the bootefi command instead and move the control fdt
logic into the distro boot script.

The uEFI spec doesn't dictate where the device tree should live at, but
legacy 32bit ARM grub2 has some assumptions that it may stay at its place
when it's already loaded by the firmware.
So let's put it somewhere where Linux that comes after would happily find
it - around the recommended 128MB line.

When the user did not pass any device tree or the boot script
didn't find any, let's use the system device tree as last resort
to get something the payload (Linux) may understand.
This means that on systems that use the same device tree for U-Boot
and Linux we can just share it and there's no need to manually provide
a device tree in the target image.
While at it, also copy and pad the device tree by 64kb to give us
space for modifications.

Whenever we want to tell our payload about a path, we limit ourselves
to a reasonable amount of characters. So far we only passed in device
names - exceeding 16 chars was unlikely there.
However by now we also pass real file path information, so let's increase
the limit to 32 characters. That way common paths like "boot/efi/bootaa64.efi"
fit just fine.

The payload gets information on where it got loaded from. This includes
the device as well as file path.
So far we've treated both as the same thing and always gave it the device
name. However, in some situations grub2 actually wants to find its loading
path to find its configuration file.
So let's split the two semantically separte bits into separate structs and
pass the loaded file name into our payload when we load it using "load".

The EFI standard defines a simple boot protocol that an EFI payload can use
to access video output.
This patch adds support to expose exactly that one (and the mode already in
use) as possible graphical configuration to an EFI payload.
With this, I can successfully run grub2 with graphical output.

EFI payloads can query for the device they were booted from. Because
we have a disconnect between loading binaries and running binaries,
we passed in a dummy device path so far.
Unfortunately that breaks grub2's logic to find its configuration
file from the same device it was booted from.
This patch adds logic to have the "load" command call into our efi
code to set the device path to the one we last loaded a binary from.
With this grub2 properly detects where we got booted from and can
find its configuration file, even when searching by-partition.

We have a nice framework around image fils to prepare a device tree
for OS execution. That one patches in missing device tree nodes and
fixes up the memory range bits.
We need to call that one from the EFI boot path too to get all those
nice fixups. This patch adds the call.

In order to execute an EFI application, we need to bridge the gap between
U-Boot's notion of executing images and EFI's notion of doing the same.
The best path forward IMHO here is to stick completely to the way U-Boot
deals with payloads. You manually load them using whatever method to RAM
and then have a simple boot command to execute them. So in our case, you
would do
# load mmc 0:1 $loadaddr grub.efi
# bootefi $loadaddr
which then gets you into a grub shell. Fdt information known to U-boot
via the fdt addr command is also passed to the EFI payload.
