Implement an initial version of riscv loader and related commands to load
and run linux kernel and initrd on RISC-V. I tested this series based on
the following configuration:

   - U-Boot 2020.01-rc5
   - grub 2.04
   - linux-kernel v5.4

Thanks a lot for tackling this problem - it's been on the back burner for way too long :). Unfortunately this patch set loads grub via UEFI, but then does not execute Linux using the UEFI protocol. While that's a nice hack for starters, it severely limits the extensibility of the boot flow going forward.

IIRC either Anup or Atish wanted to work on a UEFI boot stub for Linux. We could then just unify the ARM and RISC-V UEFI boot paths in grub and use that common code to run Linux via the UEFI stub.


Thanks,

Alex
