x86: Export x86 boot_params to sysfs
kexec-tools use boot_params for getting the 1st kernel hardware_subarch,
the kexec kernel EFI runtime support also needs to read the old efi_info
from boot_params. Currently it exists in debugfs which is not a good
place for such infomation. Per HPA, we should avoid "sploit debugfs".
In this patch /sys/kernel/boot_params are exported, also the setup_data is
exported as a subdirectory. kexec-tools is using debugfs for hardware_subarch
for a long time now so we're not removing it yet.
Structure is like below:
/sys/kernel/boot_params
|__ data /* boot_params in binary*/
|__ setup_data
| |__ 0 /* the first setup_data node */
| | |__ data /* setup_data node 0 in binary*/
| | |__ type /* setup_data type of setup_data node 0, hex string */
[snip]
|__ version /* boot protocal version (in hex, "0x" prefixed)*/
