When switching between EFI context and U-Boot context we need to swap
the register that "gd" resides in.
Some functions slipped through here, with efi_allocate_pool / efi_free_pool
not doing the switch correctly and efi_return_handle switching too often.
Fix them all up to make sure we always have consistent register state.

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.

Now that we have all the bits and pieces ready for EFI payload loading
support, hook them up in Makefiles and KConfigs so that we can build.

The EFI loader needs to maintain views of memory - general system memory
windows as well as used locations inside those and potential runtime service
MMIO windows.
To manage all of these, add a few helpers that maintain an internal
representation of the map the similar to how the EFI API later on reports
it to the application.
For allocations, the scheme is very simple. We basically allow allocations
to replace chunks of previously done maps, so that a new LOADER_DATA
allocation for example can remove a piece of the RAM map. When no specific
address is given, we just take the highest possible address in the lowest
RAM map that fits the allocation size.

A EFI applications usually want to access storage devices to load data from.
This patch adds support for EFI disk interfaces. It loops through all block
storage interfaces known to U-Boot and creates an EFI object for each existing
one. EFI applications can then through these objects call U-Boot's read and
write functions.

After booting has finished, EFI allows firmware to still interact with the OS
using the "runtime services". These callbacks live in a separate address space,
since they are available long after U-Boot has been overwritten by the OS.
This patch adds enough framework for arbitrary code inside of U-Boot to become
a runtime service with the right section attributes set. For now, we don't make
use of it yet though.
We could maybe in the future map U-boot environment variables to EFI variables
here.

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.

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.
