The EFI stub currently prints a number of diagnostic messages that do
not carry a lot of information. Since these prints are not controlled
by 'loglevel' or other command line parameters, and since they appear on
the EFI framebuffer as well (if enabled), it would be nice if we could
turn them off.
So let's add support for the 'quiet' command line parameter in the stub,
and disable the non-error prints if it is passed.

The arm32 kernel decompresses itself to the base of DRAM unconditionally,
and so it is the EFI stub's job to ensure that the region is available.
Currently, we do this by creating an allocation there, and giving up if
that fails. However, any boot services regions occupying this area are
not an issue, given that the decompressor executes strictly after the
stub calls ExitBootServices().
So let's try a bit harder to proceed if the initial allocation fails,
and check whether any memory map entries occupying the region may be
considered safe.

In order to hand over the framebuffer described by the GOP protocol and
discovered by the UEFI stub, make struct screen_info accessible by the
stub. This involves allocating a loader data buffer and passing it to the
kernel proper via a UEFI Configuration Table, since the UEFI stub executes
in the context of the decompressor, and cannot access the kernel's copy of
struct screen_info directly.

A kernel built with support for LPAE cannot boot to a state where it
can inform the user about if it has to fail due to missing LPAE support
in the hardware.
If we happen to be booting via UEFI, we can fail gracefully so check
for LPAE support in the hardware on CONFIG_ARM_LPAE builds before
entering the kernel proper.

This patch adds EFI stub support for the ARM Linux kernel.
The EFI stub operates similarly to the x86 and arm64 stubs: it is a
shim between the EFI firmware and the normal zImage entry point, and
sets up the environment that the zImage is expecting. This includes
optionally loading the initrd and device tree from the system partition
based on the kernel command line.
