At least some versions of Dell EFI firmware pass the entire
EFI_LOAD_OPTION descriptor, rather than just the OptionalData part, to
the loaded image. This was verified with firmware revision 2.15.0 on a
Dell Precision T3620 by Jacobo Pantoja.
To handle this, add a quirk to check if the options look like a valid
EFI_LOAD_OPTION descriptor, and if so, use the OptionalData part as the
command line.

Commit 9302c1bb8e47 ("efi/libstub: Rewrite file I/O routine") introduced a
regression that made a couple of (badly configured) systems fail to
boot [1]: Until 5.6, we silently accepted Unix-style file separators in
EFI paths, which might violate the EFI standard, but are an easy to make
mistake. This fix restores the pre-5.7 behaviour.

efi_printk can now handle the UTF-16 filename, so print it using efi_err
instead of a separate efi_char16_puts call.

These functions do not support formatting, unlike printk. Rename them to
puts to make that clear.
Move the implementations of these two functions next to each other.

Rename pr_efi to efi_info and pr_efi_err to efi_err to make it more
obvious that they are part of the EFI stub and not generic printk infra.

The practice of using __pure getter functions to access global
variables in the EFI stub dates back to the time when we had to
carefully prevent GOT entries from being emitted, because we
could not rely on the toolchain to do this for us.
Today, we use the hidden visibility pragma for all EFI stub source
files, which now all live in the same subdirectory, and we apply a
sanity check on the objects, so we can get rid of these getter
functions and simply refer to global data objects directly.
So switch over the remaining boolean variables carrying options set
on the kernel command line.

Loading an initrd passed via the kernel command line is deprecated: it
is limited to files that reside in the same volume as the one the kernel
itself was loaded from, and we have more flexible ways to achieve the
same. So make it configurable so new architectures can decide not to
enable it.

Arnd reports that commit
9302c1bb8e47 ("efi/libstub: Rewrite file I/O routine")
reworks the file I/O routines in a way that triggers the following
warning:
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/file.c:240:1: warning: the frame size
of 1200 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
We can work around this issue dropping an instance of efi_char16_t[256]
from the stack frame, and reusing the 'filename' field of the file info
struct that we use to obtain file information from EFI (which contains
the file name even though we already know it since we used it to open
the file in the first place)

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.

Split off the file I/O support code into a separate source file so
it ends up in a separate object file in the static library, allowing
the linker to omit it if the routines are not used.
