Add EFI variable support, mapping to u-boot environment variables.
Variables are pretty important for setting up boot order, among other
things. If the board supports saveenv, then it will be called in
ExitBootServices() to persist variables set by the efi payload. (For
example, fallback.efi configuring BootOrder and BootXXXX load-option
variables.)
Variables are *not* currently exposed at runtime, post ExitBootServices.
On boards without a dedicated device for storage, which the loaded OS
is not trying to also use, this is rather tricky. One idea, at least
for boards that can persist RAM across reboot, is to keep a "journal"
of modified variables in RAM, and then turn halt into a reboot into
u-boot, plus store variables, plus halt. Whatever the solution, it
likely involves some per-board support.
Mapping between EFI variables and u-boot variables:
efi_$guid_$varname = {attributes}(type)value
For example:
efi_8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c_OsIndicationsSupported=
"{ro,boot,run}(blob)0000000000000000"
efi_8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c_BootOrder=
"(blob)00010000"
The attributes are a comma separated list of these possible
attributes:
+ ro - read-only
+ boot - boot-services access
+ run - runtime access
NOTE: with current implementation, no variables are available after
ExitBootServices, and all are persisted (if possible).
If not specified, the attributes default to "{boot}".
The required type is one of:
+ utf8 - raw utf8 string
+ blob - arbitrary length hex string

We should use the predefined constants EFI_PAGE_SHIFT
and EFI_PAGE_MASK where applicable.

Compiler attributes are more commonly __foo style tags rather than big
upper case eye sores like EFI_RUNTIME_TEXT.
Simon Glass felt quite strongly about this, so this patch converts our
existing defines over to more eye friendly ones.

Add the required pieces to support the EFI loader on x86.
Since U-Boot only builds for 32-bit on x86, only a 32-bit EFI application
is supported. If a 64-bit kernel must be booted, U-Boot supports this
directly using FIT (see doc/uImage.FIT/kernel.its). U-Boot can act as a
payload for both 32-bit and 64-bit EFI.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
