For sharing functions I moved old_map here, but rethinking about it maybe
it's better to keep it in arch code.

Matt, I see you have some code for libstub option parsing, I will rebase
on your efi/next and I'm thinking to add a generic function for parsing
params like below (for old_map, but libstub can not use it):
