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.

A type mismatch in the efi_allocate_pool boot service flow causes
hazardous memory scribbling on 32-bit systems.
This is efi_allocate_pool's prototype:
static efi_status_t EFIAPI efi_allocate_pool(int pool_type,
unsigned long size,
void **buffer);
Internally, it invokes efi_allocate_pages as follows:
efi_allocate_pages(0, pool_type, (size + 0xfff) >> 12,
(void*)buffer);
This is efi_allocate_pages' prototype:
efi_status_t efi_allocate_pages(int type, int memory_type,
unsigned long pages,
uint64_t *memory);
The problem: efi_allocate_pages does this internally:
*memory = addr;
This fix in efi_allocate_pool uses a transitional uintptr_t cast to
ensure the correct outcome, irrespective of the system's native word
size.
This was observed when bootefi'ing the EFI instance of FreeBSD's first
stage bootstrap (boot1.efi) on a 32-bit ARM platform (Qemu VExpress +
Cortex-a9).

The normal longjmp command allows for a caller to pass the return value
of the setjmp() invocation. This patch adds that semantic to the arm
implementation of it and adjusts the efi_loader call respectively.

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 times you may want to exit an EFI payload again, for example
to default boot into a PXE installation and decide that you would
rather want to boot from the local disk instead.
This patch adds exit functionality to the EFI implementation, allowing
EFI payloads to exit.

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.

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.

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.
