[PATCH v2 000/113] efi: prepare for ARM64 EFI loader support

I've been working on enabling use of barebox as EFI loader for a while.
It's already functional enough to boot efi-stubbed Linux directly or via
Grub, but some key parts like proper runtime services and the EFI boot
manager are still missing.

Nevertheless, A lot of commits are already in a good enough shape to be
upstreamed, which I collected in this series. A second WIP series with
the EFI loader support will follow afterwards.

This series lays the ground work for using barebox as EFI loader (i.e.
EFI firmware) on - at first - ARM64 systems:

  - Generalize existing x86 EFI payload support, so it's usable on other
    architectures and for barebox as EFI loader

  - Rework virtual file system support, so we can easily map EFI file
    system protocol onto barebox VFS

  - Add barebox payload on ARM64 support to allow further
    experimentation and to have an in-tree payload to test barebox
    as EFI loader against

The payload has been tested with Qemu Virt64 against Tianocore, U-Boot and
my upcoming barebox EFI loader patches. It's not fully usable as Grub
replacement yet, because a boot handler isn't registered, but it was
very useful to develop the loader, which is why I am including it here,
even if not yet fully featured.

Most patches are the same between v1 and v2. Patches that changed have
a changelog.
