[00/12] efi: disentangle the generic EFI stub from FDT

EFI architectures other than x86 rely on FDT to pass information between
the stub and the core kernel. In hindsight, this is probably a mistake,
given the issues around abuse of the internal ABI, and potential
inconsistencies between two sources of information that both originate
in the firmware (memory map, command line, etc)

Another reason for avoiding updates to the DT is the fact that it
interferes with secure boot and measured boot. Even if we measure the
original firmware provided DT into the TPM, the DT that the kernel
receives is a completely different blob, and verifying it against the
TPM event log is currently impossible.

So let's start hacking away at this, and refactor the generic stub so
that all the FDT pieces are isolated in a singe source file, and rely on
generic EFI config tables for passing the initrd base and size.
Ultimately, this should permit all EFI architectures doing DT boot to
perform the handover to the core kernel in a different way, and pass on
the firmware provided DT unmodified, but this requires some future work
for ARM/arm64 and RISC-V.

However, we can easily convert the newly added LoongArch code to adopt
this approach, and to consume the DT strictly for hardware descriptions
(if not doing ACPI boot), and pass the initrd, memory map and everything
else via EFI config tables. Generating empty DTBs on ACPI platforms will
no longer be needed.

The first six patches as well as patch #10 are general cleanup, and can
be merged separately. The remaining patches refactor the FDT code in the
EFI stub so that we can avoid it on platforms that don't need it for
other reasons. Finally, LoongArch is updated to use DT only for hardware
descriptions when doing EFI boot.
