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.

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".

When loading an el torito image, uEFI exposes said image as a raw
block device to the payload.
Let's do the same by creating new block devices with added offsets for
the respective el torito partitions.

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.

We have a nice framework around image fils to prepare a device tree
for OS execution. That one patches in missing device tree nodes and
fixes up the memory range bits.
We need to call that one from the EFI boot path too to get all those
nice fixups. This patch adds the call.

In order to execute an EFI application, we need to bridge the gap between
U-Boot's notion of executing images and EFI's notion of doing the same.
The best path forward IMHO here is to stick completely to the way U-Boot
deals with payloads. You manually load them using whatever method to RAM
and then have a simple boot command to execute them. So in our case, you
would do
# load mmc 0:1 $loadaddr grub.efi
# bootefi $loadaddr
which then gets you into a grub shell. Fdt information known to U-boot
via the fdt addr command is also passed to the EFI payload.
