Since commit 40cd01a9c324("efi/loongarch: libstub: remove dependency on
flattened DT"), we can parse the FDT from efi system table.
And now, LoongArch is coming to support booting with FDT, so we add the
relevant booting support as well as parameter parsing.

LoongArch does not use FDT or DT natively [yet], and the only reason it
currently uses it is so that it can reuse the existing EFI stub code.
Overloading the DT with data passed between the EFI stub and the core
kernel has been a source of problems: there is the overlap between
information provided by EFI which DT can also provide (initrd base/size,
command line, memory descriptions), requiring us to reason about which
is which and what to prioritize. It has also resulted in ABI leaks,
i.e., internal ABI being promoted to external ABI inadvertently because
the bootloader can set the EFI stub's DT properties as well (e.g.,
"kaslr-seed"). This has become especially problematic with boot
environments that want to pretend that EFI boot is being done (to access
ACPI and SMBIOS tables, for instance) but have no ability to execute the
EFI stub, and so the environment that the EFI stub creates is emulated
[poorly, in some cases].
Another downside of treating DT like this is that the DT binary that the
kernel receives is different from the one created by the firmware, which
is undesirable in the context of secure and measured boot.
Given that LoongArch support in Linux is brand new, we can avoid these
pitfalls, and treat the DT strictly as a hardware description, and use a
separate handover method between the EFI stub and the kernel. Now that
initrd loading and passing the EFI memory map have been refactored into
pure EFI routines that use EFI configuration tables, the only thing we
need to pass directly is the kernel command line (even if we could pass
this via a config table as well, it is used extremely early, so passing
it directly is preferred in this case.)

There are some variables never used or referenced, this patch
removes these varaibles and make the code cleaner.

Add basic boot, setup and reset routines for LoongArch. Now, LoongArch
machines use UEFI-based firmware. The firmware passes configuration
information to the kernel via ACPI and DMI/SMBIOS.
Currently an existing interface between the kernel and the bootloader
is implemented. Kernel gets 2 values from the bootloader, passed in
registers a0 and a1; a0 is an "EFI boot flag" distinguishing UEFI and
non-UEFI firmware, while a1 is a pointer to an FDT with systable,
memmap, cmdline and initrd information.
The standard UEFI boot protocol (EFISTUB) will be added later.
