This series adds support for booting the 32-bit ARM kernel directly from
UEFI firmware using a builtin UEFI stub. It mostly reuses refactored arm64
code, and the differences (primarily the PE/COFF header and entry point and
the efi_create_mapping() implementation) are split out into arm64 and ARM
versions.
Patch #1 splits off most of arch/arm64/kernel/efi.c into arch agnostic files
arm-init.c and arm-runtime.c under drivers/firmware/efi.
Patch #2 refactors the code split off in patch #1 to isolate the arm64 specific
pieces, and change a couple of arm64-isms that ARM handles slightly differently.
Patch #3 enables the generic early_ioremap and early_memremap implementations
for ARM. It reuses the kmap fixmap region, which is not used that early anyway.
Patch #4 adds support to ARM for the MEMBLOCK_NOMAP region flag.
Patch #5 splits off the core functionality of create_mapping() into a new
function __create_mapping() that we can reuse for mapping UEFI runtime regions.
Patch #6 factors out the early_alloc() routine so we can invoke __create_mapping
using another (late) allocator.
Patch #7 implements create_mapping_late() that uses a late allocator.
Patch #8 implements the UEFI support in the kernel proper to probe the UEFI
memory map and map the runtime services.
Patch #9 ties together all of the above, by implementing the UEFI stub, and
introducing the Kconfig symbols that allow all of this to be built.
There are a number of prerequisites for this series that have all been sent to
the linux-arm-kernel mailing list at some point (and mostly ignored).
