81a0bc39ea ARM: add UEFI stub support
This patch adds EFI stub support for the ARM Linux kernel.

The EFI stub operates similarly to the x86 and arm64 stubs: it is a
shim between the EFI firmware and the normal zImage entry point, and
sets up the environment that the zImage is expecting. This includes
optionally loading the initrd and device tree from the system partition
based on the kernel command line.

da58fb6571 ARM: wire up UEFI init and runtime support
This adds support to the kernel proper for booting via UEFI. It shares
most of the code with arm64, so this patch mostly just wires it up for
use with ARM.

Note that this does not include the EFI stub, it is added in a subsequent
patch.
