[PATCH v3 0/5] efistub: convert into static library

This is v3 of the series to change the #include "../../../../xxx.c" pattern
into a static library linked into either the kernel (arm64) or a separate boot
decompressor (x86, ARM).

Changes since v2:
- make sure that removals of 'static' modifiers occur in a way that doesn't
  break bisect (i.e., definition + all declarations in the same patch)
- avoid ia64 breakage (which does not use the stub) by building it conditionally
  on CONFIG_EFI_STUB not CONFIG_EFI

Changes since v1:
- added patch #1 to change EFI_ERROR, it is not a result code defined by UEFI so
  it should only be returned by get_dram_base() and efi_entry()
- added a section to libstub Makefile to clean CFLAGS of stack protecter and
  other options that are inappropriate for the stub
- rebased onto the UEFI Runtime Services NEON patches (re)posted earlier today

Ard Biesheuvel (5):
  efi/arm64: Avoid EFI_ERROR as a generic return code
  efi/x86: efistub: Move shared dependencies to <asm/efi.h>
  efi/arm64: efistub: Move shared dependencies to <asm/efi.h>
  efi: efistub: refactor stub components
