[PATCH v1 02/18] introduction of generalized boot info

["Daniel P. Smith" <dpsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The x86 and Arm architectures represent in memory the general boot information
and boot modules differently despite having commonality. The x86
representations are bound to the multiboot v1 structures while the Arm
representations are a slightly generalized meta-data container for the boot
material. The multiboot structure does not lend itself well to being expanded
to accommodate additional metadata, both general and boot module specific. The
Arm structures are not bound to an external specification and thus are able to
be expanded for solutions such as dom0less.

This commit introduces a set of structures patterned off the Arm structures to
represent the boot information in a manner that captures common data. The
structures provide an arch field to allow arch specific expansions to the
structures. The intended goal of these new common structures is to enable
commonality between the different architectures.  Specifically to enable
dom0less and hyperlaunch to have a common representation of boot-time
constructed domains.
