The memory attributes table is only used at init time by the core EFI
code, so there is no need to carry its address in struct efi that is
shared with the world. So move it out, and make it __ro_after_init as
well, considering that the value is set during early boot.

Move the rng_seed table address from struct efi into a static global
variable in efi.c, which is the only place we ever refer to it anyway.
This reduces the footprint of struct efi, which is a r/w data structure
that is shared with the world.

The UGA table is x86 specific (its handling was introduced when the
EFI support code was modified to accommodate IA32), so there is no
need to handle it in generic code.
The EFI properties table is not strictly x86 specific, but it was
deprecated almost immediately after having been introduced, due to
implementation difficulties. Only x86 takes it into account today,
and this is not going to change, so make this table x86 only as well.

Some plumbing exists to handle a UEFI configuration table of type
BOOT_INFO but since we never match it to a GUID anywhere, we never
actually register such a table, or access it, for that matter. So
simply drop all mentions of it.

One of the advantages of using what basically amounts to a callback
interface into the bootloader for loading the initrd is that it provides
a natural place for the bootloader or firmware to measure the initrd
contents while they are being passed to the kernel.
Unfortunately, this is not a guarantee that the initrd will in fact be
loaded and its /init invoked by the kernel, since the command line may
contain the 'noinitrd' option, in which case the initrd is ignored, but
this will not be reflected in the PCR that covers the initrd measurement.
This could be addressed by measuring the command line as well, and
including that PCR in the attestation policy, but this locks down the
command line completely, which may be too restrictive.
So let's take the noinitrd argument into account in the stub, too. This
forces any PCR that covers the initrd to assume a different value when
noinitrd is passed, allowing an attestation policy to disregard the
command line if there is no need to take its measurement into account
for other reasons.
As Peter points out, this would still require the agent that takes the
measurements to measure a separator event into the PCR in question at
ExitBootServices() time, to prevent replay attacks using the known
measurement from the TPM log.

There are currently two ways to specify the initrd to be passed to the
Linux kernel when booting via the EFI stub:
- it can be passed as a initrd= command line option when doing a pure PE
boot (as opposed to the EFI handover protocol that exists for x86)
- otherwise, the bootloader or firmware can load the initrd into memory,
and pass the address and size via the bootparams struct (x86) or
device tree (ARM)
In the first case, we are limited to loading from the same file system
that the kernel was loaded from, and it is also problematic in a trusted
boot context, given that we cannot easily protect the command line from
tampering without either adding complicated white/blacklisting of boot
arguments or locking down the command line altogether.
In the second case, we force the bootloader to duplicate knowledge about
the boot protocol which is already encoded in the stub, and which may be
subject to change over time, e.g., bootparams struct definitions, memory
allocation/alignment requirements for the placement of the initrd etc etc.
In the ARM case, it also requires the bootloader to modify the hardware
description provided by the firmware, as it is passed in the same file.
On systems where the initrd is measured after loading, it creates a time
window where the initrd contents might be manipulated in memory before
handing over to the kernel.
Address these concerns by adding support for loading the initrd into
memory by invoking the EFI LoadFile2 protocol installed on a vendor
GUIDed device path that specifically designates a Linux initrd.
This addresses the above concerns, by putting the EFI stub in charge of
placement in memory and of passing the base and size to the kernel proper
(via whatever means it desires) while still leaving it up to the firmware
or bootloader to obtain the file contents, potentially from other file
systems than the one the kernel itself was loaded from. On platforms that
implement measured boot, it permits the firmware to take the measurement
right before the kernel actually consumes the contents.

In preparation of adding support for loading the initrd via a special
device path, add the struct definition of a vendor GUIDed device path
node to efi.h.
Since we will be producing these data structures rather than just
consumsing the ones instantiated by the firmware, refactor the various
device path node definitions so we can take the size of each node using
sizeof() rather than having to resort to opaque arithmetic in the static
initializers.
While at it, drop the #if IS_ENABLED() check for the declaration of
efi_get_device_by_path(), which is unnecessary, and constify its first
argument as well.

When possible, IS_ENABLED() conditionals are preferred over #ifdefs,
given that the latter hide the code from the compiler entirely, which
reduces build test coverage when the option is not enabled.
So replace an instance in the x86 efi startup code.

We currently parse the command non-destructively, to avoid having to
allocate memory for a copy before passing it to the standard parsing
routines that are used by the core kernel, and which modify the input
to delineate the parsed tokens with NUL characters.
Instead, we call strstr() and strncmp() to go over the input multiple
times, and match prefixes rather than tokens, which implies that we
would match, e.g., 'nokaslrfoo' in the stub and disable KASLR, while
the kernel would disregard the option and run with KASLR enabled.
In order to avoid having to reason about whether and how this behavior
may be abused, let's clean up the parsing routines, and rebuild them
on top of the existing helpers.

On x86, the preferred load address of the initrd is still below 4 GB,
even though in some cases, we can cope with an initrd that is loaded
above that.
To simplify the code, and to make it more straightforward to introduce
other ways to load the initrd, pass the soft and hard memory limits at
the same time, and let the code handling the initrd= command line option
deal with this.

The file I/O routine that is used to load initrd or dtb files from
the EFI system partition suffers from a few issues:
- it converts the u8[] command line back to a UTF-16 string, which is
pointless since we only handle initrd or dtb arguments provided via
the loaded image protocol anyway, which is where we got the UTF-16[]
command line from in the first place when booting via the PE entry
point,
- in the far majority of cases, only a single initrd= option is present,
but it optimizes for multiple options, by going over the command line
twice, allocating heap buffers for dynamically sized arrays, etc.
- the coding style is hard to follow, with few comments, and all logic
including string parsing etc all combined in a single routine.
Let's fix this by rewriting most of it, based on the idea that in the
case of multiple initrds, we can just allocate a new, bigger buffer
and copy over the data before freeing the old one.
