EFI passes in copies of SMBIOS and other system configuration tables
via the EFI system table. Allow configuration tables to be requested
using a mechanism similar to the current method for requesting EFI
protocols.
EFI_STATUS is defined as an INTN, which maps to UINT32 (i.e. unsigned
int) on i386 and UINT64 (i.e. unsigned long) on x86_64. This would
require a cast each time the error status is printed.
Add efi_strerror() to avoid this ickiness and simultaneously enable
prettier reporting of EFI status codes.
[efi] Add EFI image format and basic runtime environment
We have EFI APIs for CPU I/O, PCI I/O, timers, console I/O, user
access and user memory allocation.
EFI executables are created using the vanilla GNU toolchain, with the
EXE header handcrafted in assembly and relocations generated by a
custom efilink utility.
[efi] Add EFI headers from the EFI Development Kit (edk2)
The intention is to include near-verbatim copies of the EFI headers
required by gPXE. This is achieved using the import.pl script in
src/include/gpxe/efi.
Note that import.pl will modify any #include lines in each imported
header to reflect its new location within the gPXE tree. It will also
tidy up the file by removing carriage return characters and trailing
whitespace.
