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.

Currently each allocation creates a new mapping. Readding the mapping
as free memory (EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY) potentially allows to hand out
an existing mapping, thus limiting the number of mapping descriptors in
the memory map.
Mitigates a problem with current (4.8rc7) linux kernels when doing an
efi_get_memory map, resulting in an infinite loop. Space for the memory
map is reserved with allocate_pool (implicitly creating a new mapping) and
filled. If there is insufficient slack space (8 entries) in the map, the
space is freed and a new round is started, with space for one more entry.
As each round increases requirement and allocation by exactly one, there
is never enough slack space. (At least 32 entries are allocated, so as
long as there are less than 24 entries, there is enough slack).
Earlier kernels reserved no slack, and did less allocations, so this
problem was not visible.

We need a functional free_pool implementation, as otherwise each
allocate_pool causes growth of the memory descriptor table.
Different to free_pages, free_pool does not provide the size for the
to be freed allocation, thus we have to track the size ourselves.
As the only EFI requirement for pool allocation is an alignment of
8 bytes, we can keep allocating a range using the page allocator,
reserve the first 8 bytes for our bookkeeping and hand out the
remainder to the caller. This saves us from having to use any
independent data structures for tracking.
To simplify the conversion between pool allocations and the corresponding
page allocation, we create an auxiliary struct efi_pool_allocation.
Given the allocation size free_pool size can handoff freeing the page
range, which was indirectly allocated by a call to allocate_pool,
to free_pages.

We currently handle efi_allocate_pool() in our boot time service
file. In the following patch, pool allocation will receive additional
internal semantics that we should preserve inside efi_memory.c instead.
As foundation for those changes, split the function into an externally
facing efi_allocate_pool_ext() for use by payloads and an internal helper
efi_allocate_pool() in efi_memory.c that handles the actual allocation.
While at it, change the magic 0xfff / 12 constants to the more obvious
EFI_PAGE_MASK/SHIFT defines.

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 hardware that is supported by U-Boot can not handle DMA above 32bits.
For these systems, we need to come up with a way to expose the disk interface
in a safe way.
This patch implements EFI specific bounce buffers. For non-EFI cases, this
apparently was no issue so far, since we can just define our environment

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.

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.
