Recently Linux is gaining support for efifb on AArch64 and that support actually
tries to make use of the frame buffer address we expose to it via gop.
While this wouldn't be bad in theory, in practice it means a few bad things
1) We expose 16bit frame buffers as 32bit today
2) Linux can't deal with overlapping non-PCI regions between efifb and
a different frame buffer driver
For now, let's just disable exposure of the frame buffer address. Most OSs that
get booted will have a native driver for the GPU anyway.

We put the system table into our runtime services data section so that
payloads may still access it after exit_boot_services. However, most fields
in it are quite useless once we're in that state, so let's just patch them
out.
With this patch we don't get spurious warnings when running EFI binaries
anymore.

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
variables conveniently.

jetson-tk1 has 2 GB of RAM at 0x80000000, causing gd->ram_top to be zero.
Handle this by either avoiding ram_top or by using the same type as
ram_top to reverse the overflow effect.

The EFI memory map does not need to be in a strict order, but 32bit
grub2 does expect it to be ascending. If it's not, it may try to
allocate memory inside the U-Boot data memory region.
We already sort the memory map in descending order, so let's just
reverse it when we pass it to a payload.

The cache line flush helpers only work properly when they get aligned
start and end addresses. Round our flush range to cache line size. It's
safe because we're guaranteed to flush within a single page which has the
same cache attributes.

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.

Some EFI applications (grub2) expect that an allocation always returns
the highest available memory address for the given size.
Without this, we may run into situations where the initrd gets allocated
at a lower address than the kernel.
This patch fixes booting in such situations for me.

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.

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.
