[PATCH v2 00/12] UEFI boot and runtime services support for 32-bit ARM

[Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>]

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.

Changes since v1:
- The primary difference between this version and the first one is that all
  prerequisites have either been merged, dropped for now (early FDT handling)
  or folded into this series (MEMBLOCK_NOMAP). IOW, this series can be applied
  on top of v4.4-rc1 directly.
- Dropped handling of UEFI permission bits. The reason is that the UEFIv2.5
  approach (EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE) is flawed, and will be replaced by something
  better in the next version of the spec.

Patch #1 adds support for the MEMBLOCK_NOMAP attribute to the generic memblock
code. Its purpose is to annotate memory regions as normal memory even if they
are removed from the kernel direct mapping.

Patch #2 implements MEMBLOCK_NOMAP support for arm64

Patch #3 updates the EFI init code to remove UEFI reserved regions and regions
used by runtime services from the kernel direct mapping

Patch #4 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 #5 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 #6 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 #7 splits off the core functionality of create_mapping() into a new
function __create_mapping() that we can reuse for mapping UEFI runtime regions.

Patch #8 factors out the early_alloc() routine so we can invoke __create_mapping
using another (late) allocator.

Patch #9 implements create_mapping_late() that uses a late allocator.

Patch #10 implements MEMBLOCK_NOMAP support for ARM

Patch #11 implements the UEFI support in the kernel proper to probe the UEFI
memory map and map the runtime services.

Patch #12 ties together all of the above, by implementing the UEFI stub, and
introducing the Kconfig symbols that allow all of this to be built.
