[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 11/16] efi: build xen.gz with EFI code

[Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Build xen.gz with EFI code. We need this to support multiboot2
protocol on EFI platforms.

If we wish to load non-ELF file using multiboot (v1) or multiboot2 then
it must contain "linear" (or "flat") representation of code and data.
This is requirement of both boot protocols. Currently, PE file contains
many sections which are not "linear" (one after another without any holes)
or even do not have representation in a file (e.g. BSS). From EFI point
of view everything is OK and works. However, this file layout cannot be
properly interpreted by multiboot protocols family. In theory there is
a chance that we could build proper PE file (from multiboot protocols POV)
using current build system. However, it means that xen.efi further diverge
from Xen ELF file (in terms of contents and build method). On the other
hand ELF has all needed properties. So, it means that this is good starting
point for further development. Additionally, I think that this is also good
starting point for further xen.efi code and build optimizations. It looks
that there is a chance that finally we can generate xen.efi directly from
Xen ELF using just simple objcopy or other tool. This way we will have one
Xen binary which can be loaded by three boot protocols: EFI native loader,
multiboot (v1) and multiboot2.

v3 - suggestions/fixes:
   - check for EFI platform in EFI code
     (suggested by Jan Beulich),
   - fix Makefiles
     (suggested by Jan Beulich),
   - improve commit message
     (suggested by Jan Beulich).

v2 - suggestions/fixes:
   - build EFI code only if it is supported in a given build environment
     (suggested by Jan Beulich).
