At present U-Boot can be built as an EFI app, but it is really just for
testing, with very few features. Instead, the payload build is used for
booting on top of UEFI, where U-Boot takes over the machine immediately
and supplies its own drivers.
But the app could be made more useful.
This series provides access to EFI block devices and the video console
within U-Boot. It also restructures the app to make it possible to boot
a kernel, although further work is needed to implement this.
This can be thought of as making U-Boot perform a little like 'grub', in
that it runs purely based on UEFI-provided services.
Of course a lot more work is required, but this is a start.
Note: It would be very useful to include qemu tests of the app and stub
in CI.

Changes in v4:
- Change the patch subject to make it clear this does not build U-Boot
- Make EFI_LOADER depend on !EFI_APP
- Update commit message to mention that you have to build U-Boot
Changes in v3:
- Add new patch to show the system-table revision
- Default to 256MB of RAM for U-Boot instead of 32MB
- Drop comments that confuse sphinx
- Fix 'complicating' typo
- Move device_path path change to its own patch
- Update minimum RAM to 256MB!
- s/qemu/QEMU/
Changes in v2:
- Add MAINTAINERS entry
- Add a better boot command too
- Add a note that EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL is used
- Add a sentence about what the patch does
- Add a work-around to avoid a toolchain crash
- Add new patch to drop the OF_EMBED warning for EFI
- Add new patch to enable DM_ETH for the app
- Add new patch to support the efi command in the app
- Add support for creating a partition table with a filesystem inside
- Add support for running qemu with just a serial console (no display)
- Drop mention of partitions from the commit message
- Expand the commit message to make things clearer
- Fix 'as' typo
- Show the correct interface type with 'part list'
- Update documentation
- Update the commit message to explain things better
- Use log_info() instead of printf()
