Currently efi.h determines a few bits of its environment according to
config options. This falls apart with the efi stub support which may
result in efi.h getting pulled into the stub as well as real U-Boot
code. In that case, one may be 32bit while the other one is 64bit.

This patch changes the conditionals to use compiler provided defines
instead. That way we always adhere to the build environment we're in
and the definitions adjust automatically.

I made the same comment in another patch. This is becoming too ad-hoc
where making EFI builds work is distributed and hidden in such a way
that no one will be able to know whether a change causes problems or
not.

I feel that build config should be deterministic given the CONFIG
options provided by the board. Any checks of compiler predefines
should be done in one place (efi.h?) and bugs in that stuff should
there all be in one place too, and easier to debug and fix.
I actually think the opposite is true. We should get rid of any #ifdef
CONFIG_ARCH checks throughout the code base that are not meant to
actually check for the "target" (sandbox for example), but instead
really only want to know the architecture the code is building against.

We can easily trust the compiler to emit correct defines for the target
architecture it's building against. That's what every other piece of C
code on earth depends on. Why be different?
By this logic we would check for __x86_64__ everywhere instead of
CONFIG_X86. I can't think of a better way to explain this without
repeating myself.

That's my point. I think most cases that check for CONFIG_X86 are just plain wrong.
