Daniel Kiper 342cd340f6 xen/efi: Directly include needed headers
I discovered that some needed stuff is defined/declared in headers
which are not included directly. Currently it works but if somebody
remove required headers from currently included headers then build
will break. So, just in case directly include all needed headers.

Daniel Kiper be81c8a1da xen: Put EFI machinery in place
This patch enables EFI usage under Xen dom0. Standard EFI Linux
Kernel infrastructure cannot be used because it requires direct
access to EFI data and code. However, in dom0 case it is not possible
because above mentioned EFI stuff is fully owned and controlled
by Xen hypervisor. In this case all calls from dom0 to EFI must
be requested via special hypercall which in turn executes relevant
EFI code in behalf of dom0.

When dom0 kernel boots it checks for EFI availability on a machine.
If it is detected then artificial EFI system table is filled.
Native EFI callas are replaced by functions which mimics them
by calling relevant hypercall. Later pointer to EFI system table
is passed to standard EFI machinery and it continues EFI subsystem
initialization taking into account that there is no direct access
to EFI boot services, runtime, tables, structures, etc. After that
system runs as usual.

This patch is based on Jan Beulich and Tang Liang work.
