After the vga console no longer relies on global screen_info, there are
only two remaining use cases:
- on the x86 architecture, it is used for multiple boot methods
(bzImage, EFI, Xen, kexec) to commucate the initial VGA or framebuffer
settings to a number of device drivers.
- on other architectures, it is only used as part of the EFI stub,
and only for the three sysfb framebuffers (simpledrm, simplefb, efifb).
Remove the duplicate data structure definitions by moving it into the
efi-init.c file that sets it up initially for the EFI case, leaving x86
as an exception that retains its own definition for non-EFI boots.
The added #ifdefs here are optional, I added them to further limit the
reach of screen_info to configurations that have at least one of the
users enabled.

We can now use arm64 functions to handle the move of the kernel physical
mapping: if KASLR is enabled, we will try to get a random seed from the
firmware, if not possible, the kernel will be moved to a location that
suits its alignment constraints.

The EFI stub must not use any KASAN instrumented code as the kernel
proper did not initialize the thread pointer and the mapping for the
KASAN shadow region.
Avoid using the generic strcmp function, instead use the one in
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/string.c.

Clone the implementations of strrchr() and memchr() in lib/string.c so
we can use them in the standalone zboot decompressor app. These routines
are used by the FDT handling code.

Split the efi_printk() routine into its own source file, and provide
local implementations of strlen() and strnlen() so that the standalone
zboot app can efi_err and efi_info etc.

We will no longer be able to call into the kernel image once we merge
the decompressor with the EFI stub, so we need our own implementation of
memcmp(). Let's add the one from lib/string.c and simplify it.

In preparation for moving the EFI stub functionality into the zboot
decompressor, switch to the stub's implementation of strncmp()
unconditionally.

The stub is used in different execution environments, but on arm64,
RISC-V and LoongArch, we still use the core kernel's implementation of
memcpy and memset, as they are just a branch instruction away, and can
generally be reused even from code such as the EFI stub that runs in a
completely different address space.
KAsan complicates this slightly, resulting in the need for some hacks to
expose the uninstrumented, __ prefixed versions as the normal ones, as
the latter are instrumented to include the KAsan checks, which only work
in the core kernel.
Unfortunately, #define'ing memcpy to __memcpy when building C code does
not guarantee that no explicit memcpy() calls will be emitted. And with
the upcoming zboot support, which consists of a separate binary which
therefore needs its own implementation of memcpy/memset anyway, it's
better to provide one explicitly instead of linking to the existing one.
Given that EFI exposes implementations of memmove() and memset() via the
boot services table, let's wire those up in the appropriate way, and
drop the references to the core kernel ones.

Linux kernel Image can appear as an EFI application With appropriate
PE/COFF header fields in the beginning of the Image header. An EFI
application loader can directly load a Linux kernel Image and an EFI
stub residing in kernel can boot Linux kernel directly.
Add the necessary PE/COFF header.
